New attorney appointed for Limmie Greg Curry, Robinson asks motion to consolidate Lee and Curry cases be rescinded

Mr. Fletcher, who was supposedly Curry's attorney until yesterday, did appear via phone. He informed Judge Feeney that he had filed a motion to withdraw.

Ms. Bryson, who is specially appearing on behalf of  Lee's attorney Darryl Stallworth was present ; Mr. Gallegos for the People and Judge Feeney all said they were not aware and had not received the motion. This was on April 4 in Courtroom 1 in the afternoon. Mr. Fletcher said that he had filed it via fax on April 3 and was told it would be provided to the Court. Did not have a name of who he spoke to when he followed up on the fax.

Mr. Fletcher then went into an explaination of when he was retained initially to represent Curry and for a limited basis and then not retained for this trial by Curry's family or appointed. There was some back and forth on that discussion. Mr. Fletcher was relieved as Curry's attorney.

Mr. Kevin Robinson, who had previously represented Curry, was in the audience and he was appointed as Curry's attorney.

There have been future dates set and a jury trial is scheduled for July 28. At this point, Mr. Robinson asked the Court to rescind a motion to consolidate the Lee and Curry cases or grant a motion to sever the two cases.

He did so because based on the earlier conversation about when Mr. Fletcher was or was not representing Curry that this motion to consolidate was granted at a time when it was unclear that Curry had representation. Mr. Robinson said based on that reason, the motion to consolidate would be inappropriate.

Judge Feeney asked Mr. Gallegos for his opinion. Mr. Gallegos said they were all under the impression Mr. Fletcher was representing Curry; "it appears that is not the case". Mr. Gallegos requested that if the Court granted Mr. Robinson's motion to rescind that the "future dates remain set".

Judge Feeney said he did not hear opposition when he granted the motion to join cases in February but because it is unclear if Mr. Fletcher was representing Curry at that time and with different opinions from counsel and Mr. Robinson's repeated intention to file a written motion to sever cases, a Disposition Reset is scheduled on April 11 at 2 p.m.
