FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The alleged getaway driver in the high-profile killing of Caleb Quick returned to court on Monday. The teen girl wore an orange sweater and blue pants in the courtroom closed to cameras.<\/p>\n
Her mother, father, stepfather and grandfather sat in the front row behind her. She never looked at them and instead focused straight ahead as her attorneys requested a delay.<\/p>\n
“There’s some additional discovery the prosecution will be providing,” defense attorney Jeff Hammerschmidt told Action News.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe her boyfriend shot Quick and then sped off in a white Tesla, with the girl behind the wheel.<\/p>\n “There’s nothing in any of the phone records that we see that shows that the two of them were conspiring to kill her friend,” Hammerschmidt said.<\/p>\n The victim’s father believes the evidence tells a different story.<\/p>\n “Were they planning this?” Action News asked.<\/p>\n “Oh, absolutely,” Steve Quick said. “They wouldn’t both be charged with the same crime if she were just a random person on the street that he didn’t know.”<\/p>\n Quick says he has been piecing together the crime himself.<\/p>\n “I’ve gone to the church where they all used to go, gone to the McDonald’s,” he said. “I’ve sat in there (and) looked at all the cameras. I’ve talked to a lot of kids who knew him.”<\/p>\n Prosecutors are now pursuing a “transfer hearing” to move the case to adult court, where a murder conviction could bring a life prison sentence.<\/p>\n Attorneys plan to schedule that hearing on December 9, estimating it could begin in February.<\/p>\n “Do you think there’s any chance of this case resolving for your client without going to a trial?” Action News asked.<\/p>\n “Yes, there’s a possibility of that,” Hammerschmidt said. He added that negotiations are not yet underway.<\/p>\n With the court process playing out, the girl and her one-time boyfriend are set to remain in juvenile hall, where Action News has learned they can see each other through windows, but cannot communicate.<\/p>\n “They’re getting a due process that my son didn’t get, and that’s not fair,” Quick said. “But, luckily, we live in a civil society, where if they did something like this, we got to go through the channels, and I believe in that very much so.”<\/p>\n For news updates, follow Gabe Ferris on Facebook<\/a>, X<\/a> and Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2025 KFSN-TV.
