A judge in Prince William County ordered prosecutors to turn over a video showing Mamta Kafle Bhatt leaving work at UVA Health Prince William Medical Center several days before her disappearance. Naresh Bhatt, her husband, is charged with concealing her body. The defense requested the video, unredacted police reports, and cellphone and GPS data from July 27, arguing for timely disclosure of evidence favorable to the defense. The prosecution opposed the release, stating Naresh Bhatt is only charged with concealing a body. The judge ordered the release of the video but denied the requests for additional evidence, calling them speculative. Blood evidence was found in the Bhatt home. Naresh Bhatt is scheduled for another court appearance, where trial dates will be announced. Supporters of Mamta Kafle Bhatt expressed confidence in prosecutors continuing to gather evidence against Naresh Bhatt. They aim to provide a voice for the missing woman so her parents can have closure. The case has attracted a lot of attention, with the prosecution and defense building their respective cases as the trial approaches. The judge reiterated the importance of timely disclosure of evidence and the consequences of withholding Brady material. Stay updated on this high-profile case for further developments.
