Defendants demand proof: Show us photos of alleged victims’ genitalia – Detroit Free Press
The defense in Michigan’s historic genital mutilation case is demanding the government turn over “the most significant piece” of evidence: Photos and videos of the genitalia of the young girls who are listed as the victims in the case.
The photos are key evidence because the defendants have always maintained that there was no cutting involved in the procedure, just a minor scraping. The government alleges it was more than that.
With trial two months away, the defense is claiming that prosecutors have either “failed or refused” to turn over crucial information that was requested months ago.
