Defense: Jail snitch among 50 witnesses to be called in Nelson case

Whenever a Northwest Missouri man accused of double murder faces trial, he will have at least 50 witnesses called in the case, including apparent testimony from a fellow detainee. On Tuesday, Garland Joseph Nelson’s defense lawyers said they only learned of a “jailhouse snitch” on Monday, after information about a police interview of that witness was turned over to them in discovery. Patrick Berrigan, Nelson’s primary public defender, told a Johnson County judge that they wouldn’t “voluntarily unless ordered” agree to a trial date until they have access to all the evidence in the case, which the defense said it hasn’t received.
