Guam - Superior Court Presiding Judge Alberto Lamorena will hear a motion to sever in the criminal case against Christopher Gebhart, Valorie Santos and Sharika Pangelinan.  The three pleaded not guilty in relation to criminal charges accusing them of having involvement with the assault and death of a one-year-old baby girl that died.
