KingCast addresses Court misunderstanding with Renewed Motion for Reconsideration on Kelly Ayotte withholding Gregory W. Floyd's Military record.

By Christopher King

The Court, by and through a 24 April 2008 Decision on pending Motions for Reconsideration, basically ordered Defendant Ayotte to produce another homicide protocol (manual) for inspection to determine whether it should have been provided to Petitioner KingCast. As it was not produced in anticipation of litigation or trial I don't see how Defendant Ayotte can refuse to provide any or part of that document. It probably directs officers to take fingerprints of all guns and clips in a homicide case, I'll betcha'.

But also the Court denied my request for reconsideration on Gregory W. Floyd's military records. I believe that the Court did not fully understand the argument because His Honor may not have known that Defendant Ayotte was in possession of said documents:

"Items 1, 6 and 7 were in our possession and not released by our office; and Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 were in our possession and released by our office." Attachment 1...... The records are available to the general public but the general public is under no obligation to retrieve them from the U.S. Government if the State Government has them already, and Attorney Ayotte admitted directly to KingCast in written correspondence that she had them.

Read the Motion.

That's the KingCast position. I think it is sound but I am open for comments and suggestions, as always.
