Title : ORD:CASE CONTINUED
Dated February 05, 2016. Court Reporter LYNETTE SHINDORF
ordered. State of Ohio: BRIAN DECKERT and MICAH R. AULT
RONNIE L. WINGATE present on behalf of the defendant John
Clarke. JEROME PHILLIPS present on behalf of defendant
Maytee Clarke. JON RICHARDSON, RICHARD WALINSKI and
NATHAN OSWALD all present on behalf of Frank Ramirez.
Matter called for hearing on defendant's Motion in Limine
to Exclude Patently Untrustworthy Records. The State of
Ohio acknowledges that no testimony will be presented at
trial and therefore, do not believe that a hearing is
necessary. Therefore, defendants acknowledge the Motion
in Limine to Exclude Patently Untrustworthy Records as
well as the latest Motion in Limine Under Ohio Evid.
Rul702© to Exclude the AT&T Nelos Report moot and both
are denied as moot.
Matter continued for pretrial and disposition of
defendant's John Clarke's Motion for Appropriation of
Funds to February 26, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. Bond is
continued.
Looks like the AT&T phone records that Ramirez and the Clarkes wanted excluded from evidence don't contain anything worthy of testimony anyway. They won't be used in the case and the issue is now moot.
Friday, 2/26, will be the pre-trial hearing to determine if Big John is awarded funds for expert witnesses and the like. As noted in ButterflyGirl's link a page up, the judge indicated that he would also set the trial date at Friday's hearing.
I really hope the trial is scheduled to begin sometime before June -- it shouldn't take more than a year and a half to bring a case like this to trial.
