Judge To Consider Allowing Secret Recordings Into Evidence In Elledge Case

Circuit Judge Brouck Jacobs spent 90 minutes Thursday listening to lawyers debate whether to admit nine hours of secretly recorded conversations between Joseph Elledge and his wife, Mengqi Ji, into evidence. In the end, Jacobs said he would consider allowing the recordings into evidence and would make a decision after he had reviewed them. Elledge’s first-degree murder trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 1 in Boone County Circuit Court. He was indicted by a grand jury in February 2020 in connection with the death of his wife. Ji was reported missing Oct. 10, 2019, and her body was found March 25 in Rock Bridge Memorial State Park.
