WHEREUPON, AT 10:25 A.M., MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1994, WITH THE
DEFENDANTS AND ALL ATTORNEYS PRESENT IN ‘CHAMBERS, THE FOLLOWING
PROCEEDINGS WERE HAD OUT OF THE PRESENCE OF THE PROSPECTIVE JURORS:
BY THE COURT: About the plea-bargaining agreement, the
District Attorney did not mention that the recommendation in the
case of Christopher Patrick was a consecutive sentence, and with
the announcement it is a consecutive sentence with the one he
received last term of Court, I am going to accept his plea.
All right. Now, I will hear your motion.
BY MR. ALEXANDER: Your Honor, in February, 1994, pursuant to
the Court’s directive, we filed various motions. One of the
notions we filed was fo: and I was going to provide the
Court a copy of that motion.
That motion basically asks for the criminal histories of all
witnesses who might testify for the State, and I think you will
find it in the file.
We haven‘t received any criminal histories on any of the
Persons who have been listed as witnesses for the State. We
understand Mr. Duckworth is currently incarcerated in’ the
Department of Corrections at Parchman, and we have not received any
documentation concerning that. It is our understanding he came
into Court this morning in shackles.
We also understand that Christopher Patrick, who has been
listed by the State, has a criminal history, and 1 think the court
just mentioned he had been convicted of some offense last term. We
have not been provided with any documentation of that.
As the Court is aware, under Mississippi procedure, in order
to impeach a person based on criminal history, we would have to
have available to us certified copies of conviction records and so
