((HT: Louisville Courier-Journal/Riley)) Judge Susan Schultz Gibson ruled Monday that medical records, statements, training records of Stinson and personnel files of him and other PRP coaches turned over to the defense since Wednesday “came too late” and can not be used in Stinson’s trial, where jury selection begins Tuesday.
However, if any of the recently filed evidence is relevant to Stinson’s defense, his attorneys can present it and prosecutors then would be allowed to rebut that testimony with information in the newly filed documents.
Gibson also ruled that any other evidence that comes in while the trial is going on —prosecutors said they are still interviewing witnesses — will not be allowed.
Earlier Monday, Gibson ruled that prosecutors violated court procedure by failing to provide information from their March meeting with a medical expert to defense attorneys ((Dr. William Smock is pictured, thanks Louisville Courier-Journal/Mike Heyman)).
But Gibson declined to dismiss either the wanton endangerment or reckless homicide charge against Stinson, as defense attorneys had requested.
“I don't think a drastic sanction is warranted in this case,” said Gibson, who did not issue any penalties against the prosecution.
