Just an FYI - this motion hearing was set up way before his guilty hearing on 4/22. It was at the 4/12/21 motions hearing that they set this motion hearing for 5/12.
Here's my notes from the 4/12/21 motion hearing:
4/12/21 Update: Canepa & Junk are talking about allowing people to watch court proceedings, discussing whether to open the gallery above. Now they're all going into the back, to judge's chambers. Hearing for 3 motions filed Feb. & March 4. Jake appears without restraint in street clothes. Attorney absent, Jake says ok with substitute attorney. Special Agent Jenkins instead of Scheiderer. May 12, 2021 is all day motion hearing, but other motions resulted in request for sooner hearing - today. Motion 54 - Other Acts; 55 - transcripts, etc. Defense withdrawing #55 (Motion to Compel the production of transcripts of audio recordings) & #56 (Motion to Compel discovery & status of State's compliance with discovery duties). Address only 54. #54: Motion to Compel the production of "other Acts" evidence. Defense says State provided evidence to their external hard drive for items in 55 & 56. Asking court today to instead of issuing a ruling today refinement something about jurisprudence. Something about asking they include explanation of why they want to use all other acts listed & if it's relevant. Says they need to satisfy some restrictions in 404B, etc. prejudicial impact. Canepa says it was a notice of what they intend to use. If Wagner objects to any of the other acts, he should say so. Judge says burden remains on State to show it fits the exception & comply with Supreme Court's guidance. Does defense intend to file written objection or make oral objection. Do they want to schedule a hearing or use May 12 hearing to address objections to other acts. Defense says they object to all other acts. Some are irrelevant, etc. Says prejudicial impact is far above probative value. State says they need more specific info about objection to each specific act. Judge says state is required to show they are admissible. Not requiring defense to specify objections. Withdrawing Motion 47 (ballistics evidence). After consultation gave further thought about the motion decided to withdraw Motion 47 & 48 (Motion in Limine-Shoeprint evidence). State - He indicated "their experts". Appointments of experts - State wants more info about defense experts. Have not received anything. Next motion hearing on 5/12/21.
