Nathaniel Kibby, accused of kidnapping 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez last October, is due to appear in court Wednesday.
Kibby was arrested on July 28, one week after Hernandez returned home on July 21.
Lawyers for Kibby asked for an expedited hearing on the preservation of evidence.
They argue that the evidence in question is necessary for them to prepare their argument and understand the scope of the charges.
