Beth Merkin, one of Clarks two public defenders, said the case has been delayed because the defense is still waiting for the Connecticut State Police forensics lab in Meriden, Conn., to turn over all appropriate documents related to their analysis of the DNA evidence in the case. Merkin called the amount of material to be turned over unprecedented.
........................
Its very, very burdensome for the lab, she said. Theyve been very cooperative, but theyre understaffed and overworked.
Merkin said the discovery process could take as much as six more months or even a year, though she added that those were only guesses.
