As expected, defense wants a continuance of Ulisses Rodriguez's jury trial


Trial confirmation for Ulisses Rodriguez was scheduled on January 29. Defense filed a motion to continue. Jury trial is still scheduled for February 10. Rodriguez refuses to waive time and opposed the motion to continue.

Deputy Public Defender Luke Brownfield and Deputy District Attorney Jane Mackie appeared in court today for their colleagues. Trial confirmation and hearing on the motion was continued to February 5.

Last July, when dates were set, Deputy Public Defender Ben McLaughlin had mentioned the possibility that the jury trial date could change.

At that hearing, Mr. McLaughlin said he had three other  "life cases" set for jury trial in September,January and March. He mentioned February 2020 or May 2020 as options.

The other reason mentioned at that hearing was that there are  28 gigabytes of data of evidence in this case. Mr. McLaughlin is still waiting on reports from a cell phone expert, forensic pathologist and forensic analysis. Until he receives those reports, Mr. McLaughlin does not know if he will be calling these experts. This is a double homicide case

Rodriguez refuses to waive time.

Deputy District Attorney Trent Timm is the prosecutor for this case.
