No surprise to me-- Sproles has previously advised the court of conflict with his young client and seemed to go above and beyond to make it work.

By asking the court for permission to withdraw (while offering to assist new counsel to catch up on the case details for free), I think the Court accepted his word. Granting permission to withdraw at this stage is rare, and seems to me that the Court must agree with Sproles that it's in the best interest of justice for both the client and the People. MOO

I was unaware they were having previous issues. I agree it's best to replace him now, don't want anything for an appeal issue to come up in the future.

I thought from early on MB was a dangerous, manipulative person. I cannot imagine being an attorney trying to defend her in such a gruesome, malicious case. Poor little Evelyn.

MOO

Nov. 21 marks what would have been Evelyn Boswell’s 4th birthday

On Monday, Nov. 21, Evelyn Boswell would have turned 4 years old.

On Monday, Nov. 21, Evelyn Boswell would have turned 4 years old. The Blountville girl was the center of an AMBER Alert that came to a devastating end weeks later when her remains were found on a family member’s property.

Evelyn was born on Nov. 21, 2018. She was just 15 months old when she was reported missing in February of 2020.

[...]

Last month, Boswell’s attorney filed a motion to withdraw from the case and she was appointed new counsel. She’s set to appear in court for a status hearing on Dec. 13, but that along with the scheduled February 2023 trial will likely be stalled due to the change in attorneys.

Thanks for the update Pommy. So sad that little Evelyn hasn't gotten the justice she deserves. MB can put off the inevitable all she wants, but the day will come, and I pray justice will be served harshly.

Happy 4th Birthday In Heaven Sweet Little Evelyn!!

Good to know you're still on here Pommy Mommy.

And this is another case that IMO will not be going to trial in February! A new lawyer on board and the volume of evidence, no way Jose!

Defense files motion to allow Megan Boswell to wear civilian dress clothes during hearings​

[...]

The request was made "because of the extraordinary publicity and media attention her case is receiving," according to the motion.

"If she is not allowed to wear civilian clothes, thousands of people - some of whom may be potential jurors - will continue to see her dressed in her jail jumpsuit and the danger of unfair negative inferences being made will be ever-present," the motion also stated.

Megan Boswell is due back in court later this month.

10/19/22 Update: Brad Sproles, Boswell’s public-appointed defense attorney, filed the motion on Wednesday to withdraw as Boswell's counsel claiming th at “the attorney client relationship has deteriorated to the point that counsel is unable to effectively & zealously represent the Defendant in this matter,” according to court records. Boswell's new lawyer bid: Public defender explains when switch would be appropriate “Despite the efforts of counsel & the Defendant to rehabilitate the same, the attorney client relationship is not salvageable,” Sproles said in his motion. “Therefore, counsel respectfully requests that he be relieved from further representation of the Defendant & that the Court appoint her suitable counsel to continue in her defense.” Sproles is also requesting to stay on the case temporarily in a pro bono status in order to help Boswell’s new attorney with the transfer & organization of case materials. Motion hearing set on 10/21/22.

Megan Boswell Status Hearing​

 

[ilovewings]

You know what drives me crazy? how they dress defendants up for trials or other court procedures-- some crazed killer- mass murderer- who is a grunge, all of a sudden is dressed up to look like a banker- I think the defendant should have to dress in the clothes in which he committed the crime (of course that will never happen)--- we all know that jurors are influenced by the looks of a defendant to some extent which includes what they are wearing. Rant over!
