NOTICE REGARDING STATE’S RESPONSE TO
PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION
_________________________________
Pruett’s petition states that no physical evidence connects Pruett to the
crime. Petition at 7. In its response, the SPU states that Officer Nagle’s blood was
found in the gym. State’s Response at 15. In fact, that assertion is untrue. The
pants and towel found in the gym area contained Pruett’s blood, not Nagle’s blood.
Trial Tr. vol. 42: 346-47, 350. None of Officer Nagle’s blood was found in the
gym, nor was any found on any item belonging to Mr. Pruett.
Respectfully Submitted,
s/ David R. Dow
