Defense rested. We are hearing rebuttal witnesses (I'm reporting from the courtroom)
I don't recall if Bo Dukes 2019 indictment ever went to trial. These are the charges that Judge Reinhardt ruled today could not be heard by Ryan's jury:
According to the new indictment, Dukes is now charged with:
-- One count of rape;
-- two counts of aggravated sodomy, involving both women;
-- two counts of kidnapping
-- two counts of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon.
According to the indictment, Dukes pointed a Browning 20-gauge shotgun at both women and threatened to kill them;
-- four counts of possession of a firearm during commission of a felony;
-- and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Dukes went missing after the New Year's Day incident and was arrested four days later at a relative's home in Irwin County.
No trial date has been set for Dukes on either the Houston County case or the Ben Hill County charges.

^^rsbmOn your previous post - what is the medical examiner's name - tried to find it on the Phil's tweeter - but he didn't even mention him. TIA!

My understanding is that the ME is the same person as GBI Inspector Mitchell Posey. He's currently the GBI Inspector but has had many roles over the years, and he's aso been qualified to testify as an expert ME.
The prosecution called Mitchell Posey, a GBI inspector and medical examiner, as an expert in the analysis of Duke’s testimony.
