The discussion in chambers was not held today, Davis said this evening. He expects a decision on Thursday.
Davis told the judge he hasn't received a formal plea offer from the state in the matter and told her he filed a motion to dismiss the misdemeanor sexual battery count because it is outside the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations prohibits misdemeanor charges being filed either through warrant or indictment after two years from the offense date, which in the Meinsen case, according to court records, was January 29, 2014.
A Halifax County grand jury returned a true bill of indictment for the misdemeanor charge against Meinsen in February.
