Attorneys meet with judge for Capital Gazette shooting case, set motions hearing date
Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the Capital Gazette shooting case will argue on June 25 what records they are entitled to ahead of the trial, including a request for prosecutors to have the defendant’s jail call and visitor log.
After an approximately 30-minute, closed-door meeting with Circuit Court Judge Laura Ripken Monday, all parties returned to the courtroom and Ripken announced that a daylong public hearing will be held June 25.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the case of the man charged with killing Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, Rebecca Smith, Wendi Winters and John McNamara, will argue five outstanding motions before Ripken will offer a ruling on each.
The motions deal with subpoenas issued by the defense and prosecution and discovery — a pretrial procedure by which the parties can exchange evidence from each other.
