A status conference is an opportunity for the defendant and the defendant's attorney to meet with the prosecutor.
McKinley was having nearly all her Chandler court dates even before the Maricopa County Attorney filed state charges against her last year, as defense/prosecution talks dragged on. McKinley was initially arrested in September 2023 after Chandler Police served a warrant based on complaints about the treatment of dozens of dogs at her home-run animal rescue.
McKinley is still facing several unrelated state charges.
