To explain to some of the discrepancies written in the summary of Domenico's ruling compared to the facts as we know them, one need go no further than Ramsey Lama's April 8, 2022 Order:
ORDER RE: [D-17] DEFENDANT’S RENEWED MOTION FOR DISCOVERY AND CONTEMPT SANCTIONS AND FORTHWITH HEARING; [D-17A] SUPPLEMENT; [D-17B] SUPPLEMENT; [D-17C] SUPPLEMENT; AND [D-17D] SUPPLEMENT
--which effectively served to exclude 11 out of 16 of the People’s endorsed expert witnesses and essentially dismissed the State's case. Also, be reminded how Ramsey Lama conveniently ignored the States response for consideration in the ruling, and admitted IE's misstatements as if they were valid, conveniently disclosing the Court's bias in the lowly footnotes to the Order!
1 However, the Court noted on March 30, 2022 on the record, that it would only consider [D-17] through [D-17d] in this Order as the arguments in those motions are fully briefed at this time.
8 The Court notes there is an outstanding motion submitted by the People to “partially reconsider” its March 10, 2022 Order striking Expert Witnesses. Mot., 1 (Apr. 1, 2022). However, as of the date of this Order, the Motion has not been fully briefed by the parties and the Court does not consider these arguments in its discussion of its findings today. On April 5, 2022, Defendant filed his Response to the Motion to Partially Reconsider.
As I've opined before, it's unfortunate when a Justice relies on the Ruling of another fellow Justice because they should be able to trust the ruling was made with all the facts and information from both parties, in the interest of justice, but in this case, the ruling is missing "the rest of the story."
It bears repeating -- Ramsey Lama was a cancer to this case. MOO.
