Scruggs’ attorneys want all evidence
The motion makes 14 requests. They are:
-The Sept. 25 affidavit of FBI agent William Delaney, filed in support for a wiretap of Balducci’s phone;
-Copies of the Oct. 24 application for an extension of the tap and the supporting affidavit;
-The application and affidavit for the search warrant presented at the Dec. 10 search of The Langston Law Firm, which is representing Scruggs;
-Any and all 10-day reports from the government to the Court concerning any wire interceptions;
-Any and all audio or video recordings of conversations between Balducci and Lackey that have not been produced;
-All audio or video recordings of conversations between and among the defendants that have not been produced;
-Replacement copies of audio recordings that are not decipherable, including a Nov. 1 recording made by Balducci and recordings from Patterson’s telephone;
-Replacement copies of audio recordings that are not useable, including conversations between Balducci and Lackey. The motion says the recordings provided by the government do not reflect both sides of these conversations;
-Complete copies of audio recordings that either start in the middle of a conversation, have material missing or end abruptly.
-Replacement copies of video recordings that are not useable;
-Transcripts of all audio recordings. The motion says no transcripts have been provided;
-Access to each recording’s original copy;
-Any evidence obtained from the Nov. 27 raid on the Scruggs Law Firm; and
-All relevant phone records obtained by the government.
The motion also asks that a hearing be held to determine if the Feb. 25 trial date will allow each of the defense teams enough time to properly review the evidence if it is provided by the government.
