St. Clair County’s high-profile child murder case against Amanda Maison slowed Friday as Judge Cynthia Lane only ruled on a few of the 11 defense motions. Lane barred jurors from hearing about the similar 2016 child-murder conviction of Maison’s brother, saying it would unfairly sway a jury. She also blocked an ex-girlfriend’s claim that co-defendant Maurice Houle once hit the child. Most motions, including venue change and CPS history, were delayed until a Nov. 7th hearing. Maison faces life if convicted.
