welcome to it's a crime i'm linda and today i'm going to be doing an update in the laurie
vallo day bell case on tuesday december 15 2020 there was a motion filed by laurie vallo dabel's
attorney mark means and well the game is on but before i get into it if you'd like to be part
of the it's a crime community please click that subscribe button below hit that notification bell
to all give this video a like and please share this out where you can now let's get into it
well it looks like the game is on with these lawyers last week i did a video on john pryor
who is chad dabel's lawyer and he went after rob wood and now mark means laurie's lawyer
is taking a crack at it as well as i mentioned the motion was filed on tuesday december 15th 2020.
now there are two reasons that mark means gives to support his claims number one prosecutorial
misconduct and number two coaching or coercing a material witness here's what it says comes now the
above named defendant mrs laurie noreen vallo and in brackets day bell by and through her attorney
of record mr mark l means of means law office pllc and move this honorable court for an order
disqualifying and removing the special counsel mr robert wood from this criminal case and that he be
directed that he is not to take any further action regarding any matter as it pertains to this case
the court has and is granted the inherent authority to remove the prosecutor on many grounds
counsel for said defendant moves this court for this order as mr wood has committed prosecutorial
misconduct this misconduct further supports defendant's motion to extend time to dismiss to
allow the defense to amend its motion and present the newly acquired additional evidence that
was not included in any of the state's discovery responses including but limited to the most recent
discovery responses provided the defense now i do wonder here at this point where he says newly
acquired how he acquired it especially since he said it wasn't included in the discovery let's go
on to the grounds of motion said motion is based upon a recently received audio recording between
mr robert wood and the material witness summer shiftlet and in brackets biological sister of said
defendant that occurred in october 2020. another side note at least mark got it right that summer
shifflet is laurie's sister with john pryor he got it wrong in the motion and said that heather
debell was chad's sister which is incorrect she is chad's sister-in-law he says the recording
clearly illustrates mr wood's attempt to coerce unduly influence coach and or intimidate said
material witness to this case in addition an audio recording of mr wood interviewing another material
witness zulema pastenes also at or around the same time october 2020 discussing matters that support
the state's position of the case etc okay so here we have summer shiftlet and zulema pastenas
who were interviewed by rob wood i'm curious on the entire list of people that were interviewed
and compare those and the obvious curiosity i'd love to know what these recordings said and
would we have the same feeling as mr mark means here are the six allegations defense asserts
the following number one the prosecutor misconduct violated the due process rights to the defendant's
idaho and u.s constitutional right to a fair and impartial trial the prosecutor engaged in coercive
unduly influence coaching and intimidating tactics to manipulate a material witness or witnesses in
this case number two the prosecutor in this case violated the idaho rules of professional conduct
as well as the aba rules by his actions statements and the like detailed on said audiotape
number three the prosecutor's misconduct could be construed under the witness tampering and
witness intimidation statutes as criminal acts number four the prosecutor's misconduct has made
him a material and necessary witness in this criminal case further the defense intends to
file additional motions as to it relates to this evidence and intends to subpoena the prosecutor
as a witness to support these motions future motions at the trial itself number five the
prosecutor's misconduct has caused the potential for future civil directed at or involved fremont
county madison county as well as the prosecutor and any and other entitles involved or associated
with this misconduct number six the prosecutor's misconduct has included concealing evidence
in violation of brady and the rule 16 of the idaho rules of criminal procedure defendant
through her counsel moves this court for an order disqualifying robert wood as prosecutor in
this matter and that he be directed that he is to take no further action in this case in any manner
that mr would be directed that he is to appear as a witness in the hearing set for this motion that
this court allow or grant for out-of-state subpoenas of the other parties to the audio
recording that the court grant as sanction all fees and costs in having to present this motion
the defense shall seek additional remedies which shall be detailed during the hearing
on this motion if appropriate that the defense be permitted to submit this audio recording as
evidence in this hearing to support this motion defendant respectfully request that
this hearing be conducted in person and that the proceeding be recorded unsealed and a transcript
of such proceedings be ordered dated this 15th day of december 2020 mark l means advocate
for mrs laurie noreen valo brackett's day bell so the game is on we wait for
