COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) -- A judge is deciding whether problems with evidence are severe enough to dismiss charges against a man accused in the death of his daughter, who was found buried at his former home in El Paso County.
The judge hasn't said when he'll rule.
Contractors digging in the Monument area found the body of Genesis Sims in 2010. Her father, Hanif Sims, is charged with first-degree murder. His girlfriend, Monique Lynch, pleaded guilty to child abuse causing death.
The Gazette reports a July 8, 2010, jailhouse interview was apparently the source of investigators' early claim that Genesis was deprived of medical care for two days before she was buried, but prosecutors now say there's no evidence Sims said that. Investigator Ralph Losasso testified Thursday he mistakenly remembered the interview.
