Mr. Parkers Desire and Right to Have a Speedy Trial Outweighs His Request for
Severance
This Honorable Court recently ordered (in part) A severance will be ordered. The only
A.
remaining questions for the Court to decide are how many trials should be ordered, and which
defendants are appropriately tried together.[and the Court]... is not at all inclined to order
individual trials. [Doc. 978 at p.3]. Given this Order, and the Governments designation of
Mr. Parker in Tier 3 likely triggering his trial in the summer of 2017, Eric advised the
undersigned that his desire to be tried, on February 6, 2016, now outweighs his desire to be
10
severed. After becoming aware of the Governments three-tier severance, Eric instructed the
11
undersigned to ask to go to trial with tier one and not to pursue a separate mini trial. It is also
12
believed that O. Scott Drexler [ECF 1037] and Steven Stewart, the two co-defendants situated
13
14
15
enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. USCS Const. Amend. 6. The United States
16
Supreme Court has [o]bserved in prior cases that unreasonable delay between formal
17
18
pretrial incarceration," "anxiety and concern of the accused," and "the possibility that the
19
[accused's] defense will be impaired" by dimming memories and loss of exculpatory evidence.

accusation and trial threatens to produce more than one sort of harm, including "oppressive
Here, a trial after February 6, 2017 will continue to violate Erics right to a speedy trial.
25
Given the governments response to Erics Motion to Sever (and all other similar responses),
26
the government should have no problem trying Mr. Parker, on February 6, 2017, with Tier 1.
27
[Doc. 579]. In its Response to Mr. Parkers Motion for Severance, the Government argued:
28
this is a classic case for joinder [Doc. 579, p.1]. According to the Governments theory,
- 2-
Stewart is charged as gunman in a conspiracy to assault and extort federal officers and is
joined for trial with co-conspirators who are alleged to have led and participated in the assault
and extortion. [Doc. 579, p.1]. The Governments theory has not changed. As a result, and
above all, the defendant will be ready for trial, on February 6, 2017.
