AL - J.B. Beasley & Tracie Hawlett, both 17, murdered, Ozark, 31 July 1999 #5 *ARREST*
12/21/21: Defense’s response to State's Motion in Limine restricting the submission of evidence that another person committed the murders. Circuit Judge William H. Filmore set a hearing date on the motions for 1/6/22. 1/6/22 Update: The Judge granted (1/7/22) the State’s motion in Limine, It is absolute, but with conditions. Basically the defense will have to present to the court (i.e. the judge in chambers, away from the jury) almost any exculpatory witness or evidence they intend to present. Judge Filmore will consider on a situation-by-situation basis what testimony to allow during the trial. Among them is a witness prepared to testify that an Ozark police officer confessed to those crimes at a Christmas party, attorney David Harrison said during a court hearing last week. He also claims another person saw an officer near the crime scene only hours before police discovered the girls’ bodies in the trunk of their car.
1/6/22 Update: Judge Filmore took their oral arguments under advisement & subsequently issued the order requiring evidence to be presented to have review in chamber (but on the record always) prior to presentation in open court. He will scrutinize the witness list & latitude of questioning also. The defense wants to introduce some unspecified hearsay evidence that they feel falls under one of the exceptions that allow it to be admissible. 1/12/22: Document #220: Discovery report of Barrentine interviews was released to defense counsel. The State has had several pending motions that have been filed earlier that have not been ruled on. Judge Filmore has set a hearing date of 3/17/22 at 9:00am. 1/21/22: Discovery production motion notice. All evidence that is intended to be used at trial has been provided to the defense counsel.
1/25/22: Motion for Specific Production-Gun; Motion for Specific Production-Underwear; Motion for Production-Socks all filed by defense. 1/26/22: Motion to Transport-To transport defendant from Dale County Jail to Ozark Police Dept. for the purpose of viewing evidence on 1/28/22 @ 9:30am.
