Prosecutors Lose, May 31

At a May 31 hearing, the State argued that they should be allowed to say in opening argument that the crimes stopped after Mark’s arrested. Seriously? As if PPD would attribute any crimes to the Baseline crimes after Mark’s arrest. Judge Granville agreed and said their motion was “a bridge too far.” Prosecutors will not be allowed to say that in opening argument, nor during trial.


Note: Let’s not forget one month after Mark’s arrest, Terry Wayne Smith was arrested for beating up an elderly man at a bus stop, and has been incarcerated ever since.
