ADVERTISEMENTS

I had a client in on 20/30 today. In custody with a parole hold. And an excellent case for trial as there are two witnesses who contradict the complaining witness in the police report. One witness is in court and is ordered back for the trial date. Good times.So, this is a no brainer, I set it for trial within the period. I inform the prosecutor that I am setting the case for trial. No time waiver. See you in eight days with twelve in the box.The prosecutor asks me why I am setting it for trial. I have no response for him other than, um because it is going to trial. Then he does something I find strange and unusual...he asks me for my theory of defense. I inform him that I have nothing to share with him at this time, but that I am requesting discovery (which is already mentioned in the police report, and it is already late, as it was requested at arraignment and it is Brady material anyway, so I don't even have to ask for it)...continue to full post
