The Maye Trial Transcripts
Thursday, December 22nd, 2005Many thanks to the readers who helped me break these apart. Several gave it a go, and several more offered.
For some reason, my copy of the transcript is missing pages 3 and 4, but those pages appear to be filled only with formalities related to Rhonda Coopers motion to suppress the marijuana allegedly found in Maye’s apartment. The meat of the motion appears on page five with the first witness.
I also just received a copy of the autopsy report on Officer Jones. It’ll probably be next week before I can make PDFs of that. The autopsy was performed by Dr. Steven Haynes. I’ll have much, much more on Haynes, the autopsy, and how critical it was to Maye’s conviction a bit later. Of course, I’ll also explain why I think the autopsy report was wrongly used to impeach Maye’s credibility.
I’m also hoping to get a copy of the third search warrant issued in the case. This was the warrant issued after the initial raid, and after Jones’ death. It’s with this warrant that police allgedly found the less than one ounce of marijuana in Maye’s apartment.
Here they are:
- Defense motion to suppress marijuana evidence (motion transcript pages 1-42).
- Defense motion to suppress marijuana evidence (motion transcript pages 42-83).
- Voir dire — court and state (trial transcript pages 3-60).
- Voir dire — defense (trial transcript pages 61-111).
- Jury selection (trial transcript pages 112-141).
- Opening statements, beginning of state’s case (trial transcript pages 142-193).
- State’s case (trial transcript pages 194-261).
- State’s case, continued (trial transcript pages 262-311).
- State’s case, continued (trial transcript pages 312-361).
- Defense case (trial transcript pages 362-390).
- Cory Maye’s testimony (trial transcript pages 391-454).
- Closing arguments and verdict (trial transcript pages 455-501).
- Setencing phase (trial transcript pages 502-528).
One other note, the court reporter has indirectly asked that I emphasize that these are unedited transcripts. So you will likely come across some typos.
