Prosecutor says six potential witnesses may hold Brady material in Jose Angel Garcia cases; court denies continuance
Summary
In two cases against Jose Angel Garcia (2025 CR014206; 2025 CR014192), the prosecutor told the court six witnesses associated with the defendant's boxing gym may have information, possibly including Brady material; the court denied the prosecution's request for more time.
At the docket call for State v. Jose Angel Garcia (cases 2025 CR014206 and 2025 CR014192), the prosecutor said ongoing investigation had identified six potential witnesses connected to the defendant's boxing gym who might possess information relevant to the allegations and who could contain Brady material that must be disclosed to the defense. The prosecutor said the office had attempted to contact all six people and requested additional time to locate and evaluate their statements for potential disclosure.
The court reviewed the procedural history — noting the case had been on the jury docket since April with multiple recalls — and denied the state's motion for continuance. The court explained the matter had been repeatedly set for jury trial and would remain on calendar. The prosecutor emphasized an obligation to disclose Brady material "as soon as possible" if it exists; the court, however, declined to reset the jury setting.
No witness identities or specific evidence were announced on the record. The prosecution's request for additional time to investigate and disclose potential Brady material was denied at the docket call.
