Jackson v. Clemmons

Filing 49

ORDER: Joint report, 46 , noted and appreciated. This case will begin on Wednesday, September 16. Pre-trial at 10:30 a.m. The venire will be present at 12:30 p.m. Counsel should be prepared to open and start the proof Wednesday afternoon. Clemmons&# 039;s motion in limine, 47 , appears solid. Jackson's 48 , does too, with caveats: the jury is entitled to hear something generic about him being imprisoned for committing a felony; and there may be an honesty issue. If the parties object to any of these limitations on the proof they should do so by 17 August 2015. Signed by Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. on 8/10/2015. (jak)
