ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION RE: ACCESS TO 1200 BUILDING

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Defendant's Amended Emergency

Motion for Access to Crime Scene (D-148), the State's Response to the Motion (SF-
120), Defendant's Reply to the State's Response and Exhibit (D-150), and the State's
Response to Defendant's Request (SF-121). Having considered all such motions and
orders regarding this matter, applicable law, and being otherwise fully advised in the

premises, this Court finds as follows:

This Court finds that the defense has demonstrated sufficient cause for the

access requested as part of the preparation of its case and defense. The dates and

times requested for access for the purpose of documenting the crime scene as it now

exists is not unreasonable.

As such, the defense shall be granted access on: 6/13 for two hours, 6/15 for

nine hours, and 6/16 for nine hours. The parties shall coordinate with each other to

ensure that proper security and safeguards are in place such that the integrity of the
crime scene is maintained.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant's request for access is GRANTED

as set forth herein.
