Defense attorney Dorothy Sims found herself unprepared for the deposition of a defense expert witness on December 21, 2010. An exchange between herself and prosecutor Jeff Ashton which revealed Ms. Sims had not been supplied with photographs taken by the expert and critical to the expert’s deposition testimony may be found at the following link.

Dorothy Sims: “I don’t have those photos. Is there any way I can get an e-mail of them?”
Jeff Ashton: “It’s a huge file. I’m surprised Jose didn’t give them to you for this. But no, it’s too big a file.”
We have learned lead defense counsel Jose Baez did not send his co-counsel the defense photographs which had been entered as evidence and around which the testimony of the deposition revolved.
We have learned even though Mr. Baez feels Ms. Sims’ participation is critical to a victory for the defense, he did not supply her with the bare minimum of material needed for her to succeed in her efforts.
We have learned Mr. Baez, the only defense attorney who made money from this case, left his pro-bono co-counsel out to dry. Will he do the same for his client?
