Note: see my next post to access the docs listed here. The court site doesn't allow direct links to each. Sorry about that.
A status update hearing is scheduled for May 16 at 10 am.
Also, it turns out that the Innocence Project appears to be involved, per several filings from 2021. I don't know why msm hasn't reported on the IP's specific role in the case - I found the docs easily enough.
Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney and can only describe the docs as I understand them. Please feel free to read them and correct any misrepresentations I may make.
4/22/2021. Motion granting Vanessa Potkin and Jane Pucher to participate in Darlie's case as non-resident attorneys (pro hac vice).
9/30/2021. Order for Transference of Evidence and Post-Conviction DNA testing. This is a biggie. Nearly 30 items are listed and some include multiple cuttings, swabs, etc.. I can't cut and paste the doc so y'all have to read it for yourselves.
Vanessa Potkin/IP is to pay all prep and shipping costs. As for the testing themselves it says the "parties" agree to pay as mutually agreed upon. I'm not clear on who the parties include.
12/15/2021. Order to release all lab files to the Innocence Project. IP will pay costs.
12/15/2021. Order to the DA to ship the window screen to the Forensic Analytical Crime Lab in California. IP will pay shipping costs.
Now, after all that I can only wonder at why the
Innocence Project isn't publicizing their participation more? Not one word on the status of all that testing. Heck, is it even possible to test all those items in a timely manner? No info on whether or not even a single one has finished testing.
Where is msm? Where are Darlie's supporters? Are they flooding the IP with funds to pay for the tests? No? IMO it's a waste of money on the IP's part anyway when donations could go to more worthy cases.
P. S. Darlie's case is *not* listed on the site:
All Cases - Innocence Project
What's the deal??
