Edward Holly was back in court for the early stages of a criminal case that dates back 20 years.

The now 42-year-old is charged with killing his ex-girlfriend Megan McDonald in March 2003.

Holly was arrested two weeks ago, providing what state police called closure in a cold case.

I'm definitely not guilty.

I love Megan with all my heart.

With the victim's family present, investigators say Holly killed McDonald, the daughter of a retired NYPD detective, because he was angry she was dating someone else and because he owed her money.

But the arrest created a rift between police and the Orange County District Attorney, who says his office wasn't consulted.

A judge freed Holly when the DA failed to secure an indictment within six days as required by law.

Holly's attorney calls the 17-page complaint a reach.

A special prosecutor has been appointed.

Today, Julia Cornaccio said she's still being brought up to speed on two decades' worth of evidence.

With Holly no longer in custody, the special prosecutor has six months to decide whether to bring the case before a grand jury or to drop the charges.

Holly's next court appearance is scheduled for June 7th.
