Discussion to Strike Body Farm Expert/ Court Matters


JP: When is best guestimate to wrap up? Baez: Weds or Thur JP: Will state have rebuttal? LDB: Yes. 1-2 days.

JP: Will issue order giving basic parameters, can email it to laywers. "It's very long. It has just about every case known to man-kind."

Baez> states he does not have all the phone records from Roy Krunk. He only has two weeks. He was never given Roy Krunks complete record or George Anthony's record.  Burdick states they are on a disk of information they provided to Baez. As far as George Anthony's recorde, it was Baez who requested them and Baez gave them to the prosecutions. Baez had a court order for records.  
LDB and JB will meet and follow-up on records. 
Judge>The rules of discovery are that the records to be used be made available. The rules also state you have the right to subpeona records on your own. The judge states the prosecution  has not entered into the case any cell phone records. Bottomline> If you need records , request them. If they ared exculpatory records you know what happens to them.


RODRIQUEZ, BODY FARM, PROSECUTION WANTS TO STRIKE HIS TESTIMONY
There is a witness named Rodriquez that is withdrawn due to the Defense Department will not allow him to testify.  Apparently, he did provide a testimony and deposition.His supervisor, stated he will be fired.  Mason points out he could have been held in jail as a material witness. Judge> That is true. , However, he did not get permission to testify. Baez> we do not know that is true.All we know that Ashton talked to his boss on SAturday and Mr.Rodriquez was "skaking in his boots , that he was going to get fired." Mr Ashton is angry and states he did not call his employe. A mr. Malick called him after seeing his worker on TV. He told Mr Ashton that it was in violoation of Dept of Defense rules. AShton notified the court. 
Baez> Baez says Ashton requested more time to review his deposition knowing Rodriguez' was "in the hot seat" Mr Ashton also requested 24 hours to review testimony that he knew he was not going to be able to use.
 Ashton> If the defense wants to file a motion in court "Bring it On!!"
Baez> I will.

 Judge says he will find out if Rodriguez sought permission from Dept of Defense.   Perry says it's too late in the day to go after red herrings. Ashton wants to talk about instruction about Rodriguez.  JP states if he had offered to hold him in jail but it was decided to allow him to leave so he did not lose his jobs. Judge states the defense said they had others who could testify to the same thing. "If you want to tell the story, tell the whole story" End of story. 
Bottom line> The prosecution  wants to strike Mr Rodriquez's testimony since it was only a partial testimony and there is no cross available.

The defense states they will finish by Tuesday. There will be appx 2 days to close.
Instructions will probably take 45 minutes. He would rather talk w them Saturday morning rather than Friday night.
Adjourned until 830am Saturday. Full day of testimony
