Michael Colucci Retrial: Defense Attorneys, Prosecutors Seek To Frame The Debate
Attorneys on both sides filed a wave of pre-trial motions ahead of Michael Colucci’s upcoming retrial — including efforts to suppress forensic evidence, limit expert testimony, and control language in court.

Talk about overreach! How can straight forward words with established meanings like victim, defendant, crime scene, confession, admission, struggle, medical examiner, and homicide be “banned”? If the medical examiner testifies, how does he call identify himself, “Hi, I’m Dave”? If the state’s financial motive is “irrelevant” why not let them introduce it and then show that they’re wrong?!?
If the judge allows this attempt to sanitize the crime by the defense to go forward, he needs to be looking for a new job regardless of whether Colucci is guilty or not.
I am having difficulty imagining a trial without using at least two of the specific words.
