OH Pike Co., 8 in Rhoden Family Murdered Over Custody Issue, 4 Members Wagner Family Arrested #50

[bowler]

For the last of Angela Wagner's evidence the defense is suppose to provide the prosecution with storage devices and I wonder why? Doesn't the prosecution have their own?

My understanding was Prosecution has terra bytes of discovery and the defense is to provide their own hard drives and such to have the prosecution transfer it to. Prosecution doesn't give them storage with discovery already on it.

YES what your saying sounds right. You just answered my question as to "why does the defense have to provide storage devices to the prosecution?"
Must just be standard operating procedure that the defense provides the prosecution with the defense's own hard drives.

I haven't a clue, but it might have to do with the cost of the trials and what the State should pay for vs. what the defense should pay for? Not free to do much research these days, so JMO.

Well, I never thought of that! About the cost of the prosecution, I only think in terms of cost for the defense. As I look into it, it appears that the cost quotes include the prosecution.

Pike County needs help paying for trials in Rhoden family murders

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's attorney general says the state should cover the majority of the costs for prosecuting the four suspects in the slayings of eight people in an Ohio county.

Officials in Pike County estimate they'll spend well over $1 million on the upcoming cases involving the 2016 killings of eight members of the Rhoden family.

State Attorney General Dave Yost said Thursday he doesn't want the costs to cripple the small county in southern Ohio.
He feels the state should pick up all of the costs, outside of salaries for those handling the case.

Pike County gets $100,000, promises more, to help with Rhoden case - Portsmouth Daily Times

Attorney General Yost was in Waverly Thursday to hand over a $100,000 check to Pike County Commissioners, what he repeatedly called a “down payment” on costs associated with prosecuting the eight Rhoden family murders in 2016.

Yost estimated the final costs of moving forward with the prosecutions could run into “seven figures.”

“We hate to even put these numbers out there,” Pike County Commissioner Blaine Beekman told the Daily Times in November. Nevertheless, at the time, Beekman estimated the cost of the Rhoden case might land somewhere between $2 million and $4 million.

Yost talked about his biggest nightmare during his days as a prosecutor was having to pay for a murder case.

Pike County Commissioners, all three of whom were on hand Thursday morning, indicated the entire Pike County annual general fund budget sits at about $10 million. Obviously, a seven-figure tab for the Rhoden case is not going to go unnoticed on the county’s balance sheet.
__________________________________________________________
Actually I'm surprised Pike County gets 10 million to operate, only because I've read so many articles claiming there is not enough money in the budget to pay for this or to pay for that, quoting they have alot less or I'm misunderstanding. (just opinion)

This is just an educated guess, but having the defense provide the physical means (hard drives) for transfer of critical evidence may be a hardware/software compatibility issue.

Also might be a liability issue.... At the end of a trial with a guilty verdict, the defense might cry - we weren't given all of the evidence, the drive given to us by the state had a corrupt spot, we want a mistrial. By having the defense provide the physical drives, they have only themselves to blame if the data drives are faulty.

 

[Dontknow?]

I remember in Casey Anthony's case the defense (Jose) complained they hadn't received some evidence. IIRC, the state said they needed to provide the "cd's" I think, back then? Anyone else? If not, please disregard.

Why isn't the defense supplying the storage device(s)?

Maybe it's a delay tactic? Could be why Judge Deering appeared to get stern (moo) to state unequivocally the defense would provide sufficient hard drives by a set date in the near future.

Sorry. Wasn't trying to be cryptic. It's a town in Kentucky. Central Kentucky. I'm more towards the north west side of Kentucky.

Sorry, Puzzles.

Defense could be providing the drives to prevent malware from infecting anyone's system.
I am sure that the drives will be certified clean by defense and then checked by prosecution.
Defense will then check the drives when they get them back. Nobody wants to be responsible for corrupting those drives and causing trial problems. Nowadays the cost of terabyte drives is low. You can get a 4TB drive for less than $100.

Louisa is in far eastern Kentucky, about as far east as you can get.

I am so ready for something to happen in this case. Hopefully they revoke the bond. It's way past time that someone in this case has a penalty for wrongdoing. Wonder how her lawyer is fighting this? I think AC already stated it was multiple, lengthy conversations. There is no defense that I can see.
