Usage examples of attorneys.

From June until well into September, the only records the defense attorneys received were those that had been generatedbefore the arrests, and the release of even these was slow.

The prosecutor’s office had just begun to provide documents from the police investigation to the defense attorneys, through the legal process known as discovery.

He stated he did not understand why the attorneys had not already moved him, as it was inevitable that he would need to be transferred for an evaluation.

It asked Burnett to explain how—and how much—the court-appointed defense attorneys were to be paid.

Lax and Damien’s attorneys warned him that his demeanor could harm his defense.

One of the defense attorneys’ earliest motions—and one that would be often repeated—urged Judge Burnett to order Fogleman or the police to help them clarify what they called “the discovery mess.

At one of the hearings, attorneys attempted to suppress evidence taken in the nighttime search—a search that they argued had been both unnecessary and illegal.

At the time, the defense attorneys did not even have a clear idea about how the police had reacted to the knife’s appearance.

The knife’s existence was not reported to the defense attorneys until almost a full month later—after Jessie’s trial had already started.

That’s when Fogleman had informed the defense attorneys about the knife’s existence—and that the blood on it was consistent with that of Christopher Byers.

And now Damien’s attorneys wanted Judge Burnett to order the HBO filmmakers to surrender footage they’d heard had been shot of John Mark Byers.

He later complained that Judge Burnett had issued the order for Jessie to be moved ex parte, after consulting only with the prosecutors, while Jessie’s attorneys had been excluded.

When the prosecutors left the room, Jessie happily told his attorneys that the deputy who’d driven him to Rector had promised to bring Jessie’s girlfriend to see him in the local jail.

Lax urged Damien’s and Jason’s attorneys to press Hutcheson about her past and about her own inconsistencies, especially with regard to her reports of the esbat.

Fogleman provided the defense attorneys with a copy of Detective Ridge’s responses, but they showed that Ridge had had little to offer Griffis beyond the wild statements of Aaron Hutcheson.
