CRIMINAL APPEAL

Defendant:
Zaf Rech

I. Statement of Claim
  1. The Defense claims that there is no evidence that Mr. Rech triggered the alarm in the grocery store. My client saw a man wearing all black enter the store and leave before the cops arrived.
  2. The sum of money found on Mr. Rech’s person was confiscated and used as evidence of the alleged attempted robbery. However, if officers truly believed that this money was stolen they should not have added the attempted enhancement and should have added it to the list of confiscated items.

II. Charge(s)
Zaf Rech:
Armed Robbery of a Shop (ATT) x1

III. Representative
Cait Dodger (cloudcait)

Nia Liviaus (selliee)

IV. Officers Involved
[ST-444] Guy Doogan
[ST-411] Lela Law
[ST-422] Tyrone Gibby

The Defense would like to request any evidence to be turned over.
 
We have no additional evidence besides the ones you posted and Witnesses that you have listed as officers involved.
 
The Defense would like to call an additional witness, Sebastian Collingsworth (dxrch)
 
The Defense is adding Nia Liviaus as Co-Counsel to this case.
 
The State would like to know the relevance to Sebastian Collingsworth as a witness in this case. Is he being used as an expert witness or what is his involvement? Just curious as he is not a listed officer or listed in the incident.

Thanks,
 
Scheduling: Lets try to get something for next weekend. @Teddy @cloudcait
DA: If you have Officers that aren't able to attend, have you and the defense set up for a deposition.
 
I won’t be available Saturday but can find time Sunday. The ADA may be able to stand in if I’m not available, just let me know Cait what works for you
 
Collingsworth was at the grocery store whilst off-duty
 
Sunday will work for me just depends what time
 
Sunday will work for me, can we get times for each of you please? I will be available all day sunday
 
@cloudcait Would 6:15 Central time 7:15 PM Eastern work for you On Sunday October 8th?
 
She is busy and unable to do that as it will be too late for her @Teddy
 
Can see if Riley will be available, if not it will have to be the next weekend, I got a busy weekend this weekend.
 
@Teddy @cloudcait Lets push for next weekend as we need a period for discovery. Aim for Saturday? So if its in the evening time, we can ensure other obligations aren't in the way. Saturday 14th?
 
Saturday 14th at 22:00 BST should work for me.
 
@cloudcait @Teddy Discovery is now open and all evidence/witness/examination lists should now be submitted
 
The Defence would like to request actual copies of the incident reports including details of who wrote each one. As of right now, the defence only has a copied and pasted block of text which doesn't specify who wrote the report. The Defence would also like clarification that there is no more evidence other than what we've received, no photos of the possessions that were confiscated, no security footage, no photos of the vehicle that was alleged parked outside the store e.t.c. If there is no further evidence then that raises legal and procedural concerns.
