EXCLUSIVE: In a flurry of court filings this week, 34-year-old
Texas murder suspect Kaitlin Armstrong�s defense team again
demanded a speedy trial and lambasted the prosecution�s "biased
and flawed" investigation and an "unserious and disingenuous"
request for a gag order.

Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza�s office filed a
motion to prohibit comment to the media Thursday, after
Armstrong�s defense team requested a handful of subpoenas and
accused police of failing to read her Miranda rights during an
interview days after the alleged love triangle slaying of pro
cyclist Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson, 25.

Armstrong�s attorneys opposed the gag order request � arguing
that it would only apply to their client since the prosecution�s
version of events is already well-documented in the public
sphere.

"By delaying this request for a communications ban, and after
promulgating its own narrative in the press during that time,
the state has waived any serious argument that a total ban
should now come into effect," they argued in documents viewed by
Fox News Digital.

According to investigators, surveillance cameras spotted
Armstrong�s Jeep SUV outside the apartment where someone shot
Wilson to death in the bathroom on the evening of May 11. They
also said that shell casings found at the scene matched those
from a gun belonging to Armstrong.

Earlier that night, Wilson had gone out to dinner with Colin
Strickland, a 35-year-old fellow pro cyclist and Armstrong�s
live-in boyfriend.

Armstrong was questioned and released � and her defense team
asked the judge to throw out that evidence, arguing she was not
mirandized and that Austin police made other mistakes during her
initial questioning.

As Fox News Digital has reported, after her release, she sold
her car, flew to New York, visited her sister, and then caught a
flight from New Jersey to Costa Rica.

After a 43-day manhunt, Costa Rican investigators captured her
on an immigration violation and deported her to the U.S., where
she has been incarcerated ever since.

Warrants obtained by Fox News Digital revealed gruesome details
about the slaying.

On the evening of May 11, police found Wilson dead on a bathroom
floor with at least three bullet wounds, two to the head and a
third to her chest that allegedly occurred "after she was
already laying supine on the floor," documents say. She had an
exit wound on her back, and police found a bullet and chipped
tile beneath her.

She also had lacerations on a finger on her right hand and under
her chin, according to the warrant.

Strickland also told detectives Armstrong had previously gone to
a shooting range with her sister to practice her firearm skills
and that he hid his contact with Wilson by putting her in his
phone under a false name.

An anonymous tipster who police say they believe to be credible
also alleged that Armstrong had expressed a desire to kill
Wilson out of jealousy months earlier when she learned of the
relationship. Despite that apparent anger, Strickland bought her
a 9mm handgun in December or January, the warrants state.
Ballistic forensics later linked it to shell casings found at
the crime scene.

Strickland and Wilson had a brief tryst in October 2021 while he
was on a break from Armstrong, his girlfriend of three years,
according to the warrants. The California resident was visiting
Texas in May ahead of a competition and met up with Strickland
in Austin.

Other motions filed on behalf of Armstrong this week include a
request to examine the ballistic evidence and to suppress
evidence they say police obtained improperly.

Cofer, Armstrong's attorney, argued that a misdemeanor warrant
obtained by the Austin Police Department in May used in her
initial questioning � before she was released � was invalid, and
therefore prosecutors should not be allowed to use evidence
gathered at the time.

He also alleges that when APD officers initially questioned
Armstrong at her home on May 12 following Wilson's May 11
shooting death, they did not read her Miranda rights and did not
let Armstrong leave until she asked for the sixth time.

Armstrong�s lawyers are demanding a speedy trial and have argued
that there�s much more to the case that has not yet been made
public.

"Miss Armstrong wants her day in court," Cofer told reporters
after her arraignment on July 20. "She wants a trial, and you
heard the district attorney threaten sanctions over her desire
for a trial. As a matter of course, cases should not be indicted
if prosecutors are not prepared to proceed."

Armstrong is due back in court on Aug. 24 for a pretrial
hearing. She has pleaded not guilty, and her attorneys maintain
her innocence.
