Ms. Andrea Sullivan is Carroll's attorney. Mr. Acosta is representing himself.
Mr. Acosta said he was not ready to proceed."Basic discovery has not been provided by the People. I don't have the cell phone analysis for the co-defendant. It is exculpatory evidence. There has been no continuance in this matter. I am making an oral motion to continue."
Deputy District Attorney Jane Mackie is the prosecutor for this case. Today, she made a brief appearance. Deputy DA Shelly Small handled most of the case for the People.
Ms. Small read from the file what had been provided. Judge Christopher Wilson said "Mr. Acosta's request is very specific."
