Judge rules the evidence is sufficient for trial:
In an expected ruling, District Judge Julie Marshall found that the District Attorney’s Office can proceed in its case against Jennie Overstreet, 33, a sixth-grade Lincoln Elementary School teacher who allegedly had sex or attempted to have sex with at least three of her male students. The next stage in the proceedings against Overstreet will be a motions hearing, set for 1:30 p.m. Sept. 11.
Thursday’s preliminary examination lasted a little more than three hours and contained very little new information than that of the bond hearing on June 22. Like that hearing, the lead detective of the case, David Elliott, testified about his findings. Also testifying Thursday was Sgt. Jeffrey Worley, a supervisor of the investigation.
In addition to being accused of having sex with children, Overstreet allegedly drank alcohol and snorted Adderall, a type of amphetamine, with her students, ranging in ages from 12 to 14.
According to testimony from investigators, Overstreet also allowed the boys to stay the night, bought them expensive gifts and told them to never talk about anything that happened between them. The children inter-viewed by the investigators apparently admitted to drinking and engaging in sexual activities with Overstreet.
Overstreet also allegedly passed notes that contained drug references and after-school home invites in class to at least one student. “Make out�? sessions and unwanted sexual advances by Overstreet also were alleged in the detectives’ testimony.
Our legal system moves like lightning I tell ya. She won’t be back in court until September. That’s amazing.

Where is Jennie Overstreet from? I was wondering if she might have graduated from Wellington High school Kansas.
Yep, you guess it…did you go to HS with her? If so, what kind of nasty freak was she then?
She was actually a pretty normal gal. Hard to imagine that she feel so hard.
Thats money talk for you.
