According to TMZ, Judge Laura Cruz decided that a conversation between Courtney, her parents and attorneys where they discussed Obumseli’s laptop passcode could not be presented.

CBS News reports that Kim Dewayne and Deborah Clenney were arrested in January 2024 after they were accused of having Obumesli’s laptop. Prosecutors charged the parents with unauthorized access to a computer, computer system, or electronic device.
Courtney was handed the same charges in addition to second-degree murder. Her parents were later released. However, there was a warrant issued stating they must surrender by March 2024. They did so in February, posted bond, and were released again.

In the clip from February 2021, before the stabbing, Courtney could be seen punching Christian in an elevator. She steps on the elevator just before Obumseli and attempts to select a floor number. She appears frustrated, and Christian attempts to calm her down. Clenney is seemingly enraged and pulls her boyfriend’s hair many times. Obumseli appears to attempt to de-escalate the situation by pushing Courtney back.
The prosecution in Clenney’s trial has yet to reveal if they will continue to pursue charges against her parents. Additionally, on June 28, a judge will reveal how the ruling will affect the overall trial.
