EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Springs woman convicted of killing her three children more than 20 years ago will wait even longer for answers on whether her case will get a new trial.
A court hearing was held Wednesday for Deborah Nicholls. In 2008, she was convicted of killing her three children in a house fire in 2003.
Last month, a judge ruled evidence had been suppressed, which was a violation of Nicholls' constitutional rights.

The defense was looking for the judge to finalize that order in Wednesday's hearing. Instead, another hearing will take place in mid-June where the judge may make a decision.
If he finalizes the order, prosecutors have seven weeks to appeal the ruling.
