Defence lawyer says prosecutors have not detailed alleged mosque-shooting links
An attorney representing a North Carolina girl accused of helping two teenagers involved in a fatal attack on a San Diego mosque says prosecutors have not supplied enough information about her alleged ties to the suspects. The lawyer says the lack of detail is limiting his ability to prepare her defence.
The attorney for a North Carolina girl accused of helping two teenagers who carried out a fatal attack on a San Diego mosque says prosecutors have not provided enough information about the alleged relationship, according to ABC News US. The lawyer said the prosecution had not supplied sufficient details about the girl’s alleged ties to the two teens. He argued that the missing information was needed to allow him to defend his client.
The supplied material describes the girl as being accused of helping the teenagers, but does not specify what assistance prosecutors allege she provided. It also gives no details about the attack’s date, the identities of the suspects or the charges faced by the girl. The report does not include a response from prosecutors to the lawyer’s complaint.
It therefore remains unclear from the available information what evidence or details have been disclosed to the defence, or whether the prosecution has explained why further information has not been provided.
