The hearing was held virtually, with McGee being represented by a public defender for the first time since being arrested and released.

This hearing provided an opportunity for McGee’s defense to make any objections to evidence collected so far.
McGee’s attorney made a request for more time to review the facts of the case and to wait for additional records to come in.
County officials say this is a normal part of the process for cases like these.
“You can’t determine whether or not you have an issue until you’ve seen all of the work product,” said Wabasha County Attorney Matthew Stinson.
The other defendant in this case, Raymond Duque, 41, is scheduled to make a second appearance in court as well, also the first time with representation.
