I'm listening to the link howlin posted up thread.
Cheshire: I hope he doesn't ruin any more player's lives.
Yes, I believe we have enough evidence to prove their innocence. There will be no plea bargain in this case. I've said from the beginning, we can discuss under age drinking, noise violations, but as to a sexual assault - it didn't happen.
I won't go into what did happen that night.
The only discovery we have, things we're entitled to by statute is all we have. We don't have their own statements. Toxicology report. Rape kit. We're entitled to it but the yhaven't been given to us.
They've had noise violations before and underage drinking, so everyone left. I assume they weren't silent, sir.
Q: It's like war between the prosecutors and defense.
Cheshire: We called over and tried to talk to him and he's refused to look at evidence. When there's osmeone who won't act professionally, I don't know how else you do things when you have someone's life on the line.
He's within his rights not to give discovery until it has to be statutorily turned over. Seligmann has to be in court Thursdy so we'll expect evidence then.
If memory serves, it took us two and a half months just to get the police report to look over. We didn't get to depose the AV until 12-13 months after that. It's a long wait. That's why I say pray for the parents and boys. It's hard to live under the stress of this for that long.
