Hearing for Joseph Daniels continues today - NewsChannel5.com

CHARLOTTE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The hearing for Joseph Daniels continues today in the Joe Clyde Daniels case. A judge will decide what evidence will be allowed at trial, including a now-recanted confession.

Note: Court is in recess until 2 p.m. We will resume the live stream when the return.

Both the prosecution and defense currently have 12 pre-trial motions in front of Judge David Wolfe to consider, but there was only enough time to discuss two in the hearing Thursday.

Daniels’ interrogation video was also played in court, despite the defense arguing that it should be inadmissible. In it, Daniels confesses to hitting Joe Clyde until the five-year-old stopped crying.

Prosecutors say Daniels then described putting Joe Clyde's body in the trunk of his car and driving to a field.

Daniels' attorney argues other angles of the hours-long interrogation show that he was detained illegally, and the confession should be thrown out.

The 5-year-old disappeared more than two years ago from his family home in Dickson. He is believed to be deceased, but the child’s remains have never been found.

Prosecutors have charged his father, Joseph, with homicide after he confessed under questioning. However, he’s since recanted that confession. Joe Clyde’s mother, Krystal, is charged with aggravated child neglect.

Both parents are scheduled for trial early next year.
