A judge set Trudell's jury trial for the week of May 19th.

In letters to the judge, Calo's friends asked that Trudell receive the longest possible sentence, while a bible study group that Trudell joined while in jail claims her life has "transformed."

Trudell's boyfriend at the time, 22-year-old Dawson Miller, is charged with multiple felonies, including felony murder as party to a crime, for allegedly helping to set up the robbery and helping Trudell hide.

His trial has previously been set for the week of September 15.
