A pretrial conference for VHS teacher Kristina Edmison and five co-defendants was held on May 8, 2025, in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. The hearing was brief, with the court granting an oral motion by Edmison’s counsel to continue the pretrial due to ongoing discovery and active plea negotiations.
The motion was unopposed by prosecutors and approved by Judge John P. O’Donnell.
A new pretrial date has been set for May 22, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.
Edmison faces multiple felony charges, including engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, conspiracy, and money laundering prohibitions, stemming from a broader case involving six total defendants.
The court documents indicate that all parties remain involved in plea discussions. No trial date has been scheduled.
