On Monday, Amina Matheny-Willard said that, "we maintain Cory Bigsby’s innocence."

She also made allegations against the Hampton Roads Regional Jail, which News 3 has reached out to Matheny-Willard to try and clarify further. She has yet to respond.

Bigsby is expected in court Wednesday morning for a hearing regarding his mental health.

In a court document dated June 1, 2023, a psychologist stated that it is his opinion, “he presently is competent to stand trial.”
