Attorney Shannon Schott, who is not apart of the case, called the motion concerning.
"There's really no way that the prosecution could move forward in good faith. If they've seen the information, if it's in their file, it really is appropriate for another prosecutor in another office, who is going to be shielded in some way from the evidence that's been obtained," Attorney Shannon Schott said.
Schott says the next step would be to go through an evidentiary hearing, where the state will make the determination if they can or cannot proceed in the case. If they choose to fight the motion, a judge will make the decision. If the Fourth Judicial Circuit Office is disqualified from the case, attorneys from a neighboring county can be appointed to prosecute the case on behalf of the State.
