The presiding officer asked whether an expedited review was needed and explained the process for seeking accelerated handling. The court said a party seeking expedition must file a motion for accelerated review and set out the grounds supporting that request.
The prosecutor told the bench that expedited handling would be helpful because the state is keeping witnesses "close" to preserve their availability, though counsel acknowledged the defendant is not going anywhere. Defense counsel responded that there is "no major time crunch" from the defendant's perspective and said the defense had no objection to expedition in the interest of judicial efficiency.
After the exchanges the court took the matter under advisement and said it would issue a ruling as soon as possible.
