I have a question about the order granting the motion for Statement of Particulars Providing Notice of Aggravating Circumstances. My friend works for a Defense Attorney and we have a minor disagreement as to exactly what the Judge granted the defense. I thought he told the State to list the specific aggravating circumstances they were going to use to argue for the death penalty, nothing more. My friend seems to think the Judge granted a motion for the State of Particulars too, which means the State will have to lay out their theory of when, where, how, etc. etc. Can anyone clarify this for me? Does the order granting this motion ONLY deal with the aggravating circumstances portion or does it also cover the Statement of Particulars in regards to what the State is going to argue about what happened, when, etc.
