State of Ohio

vs

Chadwick Kister, defendant

in the Athens Municipal Court

Chad Kister, pro-se; 4592 Bessemer Rd.; Nelsonville, OH 45764

Special Prosecutor Randall Ullum

Chad Kister asks for all due leniency from the court because he is not an attorney.

Motion For a Bill of Particulars

The Defendant, Representing himself, does hereby request a Bill of Particulars from the Prosecutors, with a response to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the identification of precisely what statements attributed to the Defendant the prosecution contends prove the State’s prima facie case of both counts of Aggravated Menacing and the count of Telephone Harassment.  These motions are filed pursuant to Ohio Criminal Rule of Procedure 7(E), which provides:

  "When the defendant makes a written request within twenty-one days after arraignment but not later than seven days before trial, or upon court order, the prosecuting attorney shall furnish the defendant with a bill of particulars setting up specifically the nature of the offense charge and of the conduct of the defendant alleged to constitute the offense. A bill of particulars may be amended at any time subject to such conditions as justice requires."

The time limits show why the jury trial needs to be postponed, pursuant with Kister's continuance motion. Because Kister just received the advice of council after filing within the 7-day limit was possible, it is crucial that if the jury trial is not postponed, that the Bill of Particulars still be fulfilled.

 

The discovery requested is crucial to the defendant's defense in this matter.

WHEREFORE, Defendant, Chad Kister respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant Defendant's request for Discovery to uphold the Defendant's critical right to a fair trial.

Respectfully submitted,

 

Chad Kister, pr-se
