Testimony in Greitens custody case will now be through a private deposition

During a hearing Friday, public testimony was changed to a closed deposition set for next week. According to attorneys for both sides, the court-appointed guardian in the case said it would be in the best interest of the children if testimony was not public.
Further testimony in the ongoing child custody case between Eric and Sheena Greitens will now take place through a closed deposition.

During a court hearing Friday, Boone County Judge Leslie Schneider agreed to the deposition, though she at one point suggested testimony happen that day.

Sheena Greitens’ attorney, Helen Wade, said the testimony can be through a deposition.

“But because it will be a deposition, it will be closed, and we would be able to submit the transcript to you as an exhibit for your consideration so we could deal with the issues that remain between the parties,” Wade said.
