So, after four days of trying to go to trial and getting a plea done, it's off to Independence after being ordered to appear for a scheduled show cause hearing in State v. Lopez. For the past eight months the prosecutor hasn't complied with discovery and its show cause day.
Or is it. The judge is in trial and, incredibly, decides that what would work best is for the defense to tell the Court (again) what discovery is missing! Does anyone else see something strange here? The defense is missing whatever discovery the State has not provided, and the defense doesn't know what that missing discovery is.
Which witness addresses have not been updated? Don't know.
Which witnesses have undisclosed arrests and convictions? Don't know.
What transcripts from co-defendants cases have not been provided? Don't know.
Oh well. Like so many cases in Jackson County, we'll sort it out in a post-conviction hearing . . . .
