Hello all,
I have a trial coming up in a couple of months and although I am going to hire an attorney before the trial I am trying to do some of the leg work myself first.
I need to know how I get the 911 log and the tapes or transcripts from the night in question. The police put in their report that some calls were made to 911 that I have reason to believe never happened.
I requested discovery from the prosecutor and they gave me copies of the reports but have not given me the pictures and he told me he was not in possession of the 911 logs or tape so even though they may contain mitigating evidence he has no obligation to make them available.
Do I have to request a subpoena from the judge or do I just need to file a FOIA request with the agency that took the 911 calls?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Stringer
