LOL!!! sorry, but like I said I don't think the Court is going to allow AL to act a fool... :happydance:
ORDER
Comes now for consideration the Defendant's "Motion for Production of Materials to
Indigent Person," "Motion for a [illegible] Hearing to Hear Verbal Motion," and "Motion to
Compell [sic]," and based upon a review of the case file, the Defendant's pleadings, and all other
matters considered, the Court DOTH FIND:
The Defendant is charged with capital murder, kidnapping, and possession of firearms by
certain persons. He filed the instant motions on March 17,2015.
The Defendant's first motion requests that the public defender's office provide him with
a laptop, an external hard drive, and a copy of the Court Rules "to remain on loan for the
duration of the current case[.]" The Defendant has neither filed an affidavit of indigency nor
provided this Court with any reason why the public defender's office has a duty to provide him
with these materials. This Court will provide the Defendant with a copy of the Rules of Criminal
Procedure.
The Defendant's second motion requests that this Court set a hearing so that he may
present "verbal motions regarding Discovery, Suppression, and [illegible] of seized things" As <--- So either AL was talking abt the mail or wasn't clear
previously noted in this Court's March 11,2015, Order, the Defendant resides in the Arkansas
Department of Corrections as a result of parole violations out of Benton and Washington
Counties. The ADC is not aparty to this case, and the Court has no jurisdiction over that
department's enforcement of their regulations. An omnibus hearing is currently set for June 1, <-----LOL no road trip til June!
2015, at which time Defendant may raise issues regarding suppression.
Turning to Defendant's third and final motion, he asserts that he sent a written request to
the prosecuting attorney's office on March 4,2015 regarding disclosure under Arkansas Rule of <--- Yep, Hensley had already asked for that stuff!
Criminal Procedure 17.1, and he requests this Court compel the state to comply with this request.
This Court has received notification from the prosecuting attorney that they have complied with
the Defendant's request and sent him the discovery materials in question. This motion is now
moot.
THEREFORE
