In a heated session Judge Ammerman ruled to preclude 34 witnesses after the attorney general's office failed to provide transcripts by the agreed July 6 deadline. Defense counsel argued the delay hampered their ability to defend clients amid ongoing SCI Rockview interviews. The session ended with the judge noting seven wasted days and plans to refile motions and pursue bail considerations for five incarcerated men.
