Things are starting to heat up in a very interesting manner in the Brandon McInerney case. Brandon’s new attorneys, Scott Wippert of the United Defense Group, and Robin Bramson, have just filed a defense motion for discovery, which in great part attacks the Ventura County District Attorney’s “Failure to Exercise its Filing Discretion.” If the motion were granted, then the defense attorneys hope to gain access to DA communications and records that might show a lack of filing discretion when dealing with juveniles alleged to have committed serious offenses.

The concern here of course is that the DA’s office in Ventura County just basically files all cases with a violent nature involving juveniles in adult court rather than in juvenile court, where the cases presumably belong. Look at the motion, and the arguments created by the defense, and see if you agree with the defense’s contentions.
Later this week we will also have an interview with Ventura County Senior Deputy District Attorney Maeve Fox on her brief thoughts on the status of the case, and with Brandon’s new attorney, Scott Wippert, on his request to have Brandon psychologically evaluated and his concerns regarding his discovery motion.
The discovery motion, filed today, can be found here.
