The subpoenaed person probably won't testify until trial because Judge Deering has all this other evidence to go through and Motions to rule on:
1.) All the jail phone call transcripts and arguments in the defense Motion to not revoke bail. And of course the prosecution's argument's to revoke bail.
Regarding that, Deering could choose to:
Give a warning -- impose more restrictive bail conditions -- increase amount of bail -- hold her in contempt of court -- and of course revoke her bail all together, in which case she may loose some money by forfeiture.
2.) Then there is this Motion to deal with:
“Defendant respectfully requests the court to issue an order
dismissing counts one, two and three of the indictment as venue is not in Pike County, Ohio,” Gerlach’s motion concludes.
According to the motion Gerlach filed, “the custody documents in question in the indictment do not indicate where the alleged forgery took place. At all times relevant, defendant was a resident in Scioto County and did not have transportation to Pike County.”
Gerlach goes on to claim an attorney for the prosecution told defense counsel the documents were taken to Newcomb’s home in Scioto County “where they were allegedly notarized by the defendant.”
There is no indication on the documents as to where they were signed or notarized.
3.) Then there are these matters to clear up:
Gerlach and prosecutors still apparently are arguing over some discovery issues and defense requests for
interrogatories, that is written questions formally put to one party or another in a legal case. If the prosecution denies supplying answers to defendant’s interrogatories, Gerlach is asking the court to prevent the prosecution from using certain evidence.
As for how I think Judge Deering will rule on the Motion to Revoke Bail -- I see him either being lenient and giving her a warning, or going harsh and revoking her bail. I just don't see him taking the middle ground and upping her bail amount or adding more restrictions to her already restrictive ankle-monitored house arrest -- It will be -- lenient or harsh or middle ground...
This isn't good:
"...Deering stated he takes very seriously any violations of the terms of Newcomb’s release, but added conversations between Newcomb and Wagner in which they discussed the case would exacerbate the situation..."
Also it showed disrespect to Judge Deering's ruling on
no contact when Angie and Rita admitted they shouldn't be talking, yet they continued it and kept on with their lengthy discussions which shows they don't take judge Deering seriously.
