Supreme Court of Kentucky 2019-SC-0262-MR DAVID WAYNE DOOLEY APPELLANT ON APPEAL FROM BOONE CIRCUIT COURT HONORABLE JAMES R. SCHRAND, II, JUDGE V. NO. 12-CR-00622 COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY APPELLEE OPINION OF THE COURT BY CHIEF JUSTICE MINTON AFFIRMING A circuit court jury convicted David W. Dooley (“Dooley’), of the murder of Michelle Mockbee and tampering with physical evidence. Dooley was sentenced to forty-three years’ imprisonment, consistent with the jury’s recommendation. Dooley appeals the resulting judgment as a matter of right,1 raising several claims of error, most evidentiary in nature: 1) that the trial court erred in allowing evidence of time fraud by Dooley and his wife as unfairly prejudicial evidence of criminal propensity; 2) that the trial court improperly admitted various pieces of tangible evidence; 3) that the trial court improperly allowed adverse witness testimony in violation of KRE2 615; and 4) that the trial court improperly refused to give a missing-evidence jury instruction. Finally, if none TFS shares a sprawling four-acre site with an industrial concern, Beckman Coulter, Inc. In and around TFS, several people, including regular employees in various roles and delivery-truck drivers, were onsite when the murder happened. But no one witnessed Michelle’s murder or evidence of her murder being tampered with by a perpetrator, nor did anyone admit to seeing or participating in it. The murder scene was bloody, necessitating investigators to use a blood-search chemical. The investigation showed bi-directionality of blood smearing, indicative of wiping.

Dooley became the primary focus of the investigation after part of the restaurant bag covering Michelle’s head tested positive for Dooley’s male DNA. The janitor’s closet Dooley used tested positive for industrial bleach soon after the murder; employees noticed Dooley on the jobsite that morning wearing noticeably, pristinely clean white shoes not seen on him at the jobsite before; and Dooley apparently left for home around the time of the murder, allegedly to check on his wife. Ultimately, the Commonwealth’s case against Dooley consisted entirely of circumstantial evidence, which affects our analysis of his trial.

STANDARD OF REVIEW

Dooley has preserved all the issues he now appeals. Preserved claims of error are reviewed subject to our normal standards.^[3] This analysis first requires us to identify if there was an error at trial, and if an error is identified we determine whether that error was harmless or if it affected the substantial rights of the parties.^[4] If we determine an error was harmless, we will affirm. An error will be deemed harmless if we can say with fair assurance that it did not substantially sway the verdict against the defendant.^[5] If such an identified error has constitutional implications, we will affirm only if the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.^[6]

III. ANALYSIS

A. The trial court’s admission of evidence of Dooley’s time fraud as motivation to murder. Error in admitting evidence in violation of KRE 403 and 404 we review for abuse of discretion.^[7] A trial court abuses its discretion when its decision is arbitrary, unreasonable, unfair, or unsupported by legal principles.^[8]

At trial, the Commonwealth sought and was allowed to admit witness testimony and a PowerPoint presentation depicting the extent of Dooley’s time fraud.^[9] Dooley had been clocking in for his wife even though she was at home.

The Commonwealth asserts that this evidence was properly admitted under KRE 404(b), showing Dooley’s motive to murder Mockbee and that it was not being offered to show a general criminal propensity.

The main thrust of Dooley’s counterargument is that the Commonwealth’s motive theory relies on a chain of inferences too extensive, presumptive, and attenuated for the fraud to be relevant. The trial court assumed, he avers, far too many unproven facts to admit evidence of his time fraud, even for the purposes of proving motive under KRE 404(b). Specifically, he argues the proffered motive could only have existed if Mockbee was aware of the fraud by the time of her death, if Dooley specifically expected discipline or reprimand, and if the consequences would have been enough to motivate Dooley to murder. Since these circumstances were not themselves proven, his argument goes, his time fraud is not relevant as a preliminary matter under KRE 104, and therefore cannot be admitted as relevant to motive under KRE 404(b).

Evidence is admissible only if it is relevant.^[10] Evidence is relevant if it is material and probative.^[11] It is material if it goes to a fact of consequence in the case, and it is probative if it tends to make a matter of fact even marginally more or less likely.^[12] But a trial court should not admit even relevant evidence if the danger of unfair prejudice substantially outweighs its probative value.^[13] Under KRE 104, where the relevance of evidence depends on the truth of other preliminary facts, the trial court may allow such proof of relevance. The trial court may then, within its broad discretion, admit evidence if enough underlying proof of relevance exists for a reasonable jury to consider it in the case before it.^[14]

First, the Commonwealth proffered sufficient evidence as a preliminary matter to prove to a reasonable person that Dooley and his wife had been committing time fraud. Dooley himself admitted in his opening statement that the two had committed time fraud for about a month before the murder, namely that both of the Dooleys were being clocked in while only Dooley showed for work.^[15] Second, Dooley asserts that the Commonwealth’s motive theory depends upon actual proof that Mockbee knew about the time fraud and that Dooley specifically anticipated repercussions. We disagree. Neither is necessary for the motive theory to be plausible. The motivation to kill Mockbee, although an action disproportionate to the consequences of the months-long time fraud, existed even if Mockbee had not yet uncovered the fraud and even if Dooley had not yet been confronted about it because Dooley could have anticipated and feared that eventual outcome. Time fraud, depending on the amount of money obtained over the course of the previous month, is a form of criminal theft that could have exposed Dooley and his wife not only to termination but perhaps serious criminal charges and incarceration.^[16] Dooley might have thought he could avoid this outcome if he killed Mockbee, effectively concealing a possible felony.^[17] That was the Commonwealth’s theory, anyway. This theory does not depend on Mockbee’s actual discovery or pending disciplinary action by TFS. Any question about the plausibility of this theory is left to the jury, not the Court.

Finally, the time fraud was relevant to motivation and, therefore, at the same time, identity, both of which are non-propensity evidentiary purposes under KRE 404(b). A defendant’s motivation to commit the murder is often an important issue in criminal trials, perhaps especially in cases like this, where the identity of the perpetrator is disputed and must be proven almost entirely by circumstantial evidence. In such cases, proof of a defendant’s motivation could be the lynchpin of the prosecution’s theory. Motivation and identity thus become the independent, non-propensity bases for offering the evidence, so proof should be allowed, even if the evidentiary foundation depends on speculation to some extent.^[18] Where the Commonwealth’s motive theory is at least coherent, it is in effect a state-of-mind issue, properly left for the jury to believe or disbelieve.^[19]

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by finding the evidence of time fraud was not unfairly prejudicial under KRE 403. While the Commonwealth may have spent approximately thirteen minutes of the trial presenting evidence by PowerPoint of the extent of Dooley’s time fraud, that detail and emphasis was proportional to the degree to which Dooley could have been theoretically motivated to keep it all concealed. The greater the extent of his fraud, the greater an anticipated repercussion might be, and thus the more motivated he would presumably be to take extraordinary action to conceal it. Further, the fraud itself was not a violent crime, unlike the crime charged. It was, therefore, presumably much less likely to make the jury believe unfairly that Dooley was predisposed to commit murder simply because he committed a form of fraud or theft.

For the foregoing reasons, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion when it ruled this evidence sufficiently probative when weighed against its prejudicial effect. Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court’s admission of evidence of Dooley’s time fraud.

B. The trial court’s admission of certain tangible evidence. The trial court admitted into evidence three different tangible items, all over objection: a red knife and latex gloves, both found in a search of Dooley’s truck months after the murder, and a container of industrial bleach found in fellow employee Ed Yuska’s office. Dooley raises the same arguments in opposition to the admission of all three items: the Commonwealth failed to offer sufficient foundational evidence of their relevance and the trial court erred by admitting them. In other words, Dooley argues a reasonable jury could not infer in the first place that these items were connected to the murder at all, even under the theory urged by the Commonwealth. This issue of admissibility was preserved as to all three items, so we review them for abuse of discretion.20

Robert G. Lawson, The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook, § 11.00[2][d] 20 (LexisNexis Matthew Bender) (2020) (hereinafter cited as “Lawson”) (citing U.S. v. Edwards, 235 F.3d 1173 (9th Cir. 2000); U.S. v. Ricco, 52 F.3d 58 (4th Cir. 1995)).

1. Admitting the red knife and latex gloves found in Dooley’s truck was error, but these errors were harmless.

The trial court allowed introduction of four different knives of Dooley’s. One of them, a red, Husky, flip-blade knife was seized from his truck four months after the murder. No blood or DNA analysis was conducted on this knife specifically linking it to the murder, and the Commonwealth did not argue specifically that it was used to murder Mockbee. Rather, the Commonwealth introduced an assortment of knives collected from the premises, three of which were Dooley’s. In the same search of Dooley’s truck, investigators found latex gloves, which the Commonwealth also introduced in evidence. No forensic testing was done on the gloves, either.

All evidence must have a foundation that establishes its relevance, as previously discussed. Under KRE 104 and 901, the Commonwealth must prove a close enough connection between the proffered item and the crime charged.^[21] The Court in Higgins v. Commonwealth22 stated the requirement well:

“It should also appear from the evidence that [the purported murder weapon] was found at a time and place furnishing reasonable ground to connect it in some way with the homicide. The proof need not positively show the connection; but there must be proof rendering the inference reasonable or probable from its nearness in time and place or other circumstances.”23 Consistent with Higgins, this Court has since held that alleged murder weapons and criminal instrumentalities must be demonstrably connected to the crime at hand or they are not admissible.^[24]

Testimony of direct observation of an item in connection to the crime can establish this foundational relevancy.25 But in cases like this with apparently no direct evidence or observation of an item’s criminal connection, foundational relevancy can and must be established circumstantially. For example, if the instrumentality is found at the scene of the offense soon after the crime was committed and was capable of inflicting the type of injury sustained by the victim, it may be admitted for purposes of identification.^[26]

In Barth v. Commonwealth,27 the trial court admitted wooden sticks for identification as weapons used to assault the victim. Although the victim was blindfolded while he was beaten, the trial court properly admitted wooden sticks found inside the residence where the assault happened, found immediately after the assault occurred, and matched the shape of welts on the victim’s back.^[28] These three factors—time, place, and circumstance—connected the sticks to the crime, distinguishing them from just any blunt object,29 warranting their admission for identification.^[30]

By contrast, the circumstances connecting Dooley’s red knife to the murder are limited, or at the very least remain general in nature: Mockbee had been stabbed and cut during the murder, Dooley was working at TFS at the time of the murder, and the knife in question was found in Dooley’s vehicle in the TFS parking lot. But unlike in Barth, where the place, time, and circumstances converged to establish a strong and specific connection between the purported weapons and the crime, the facts in the present case hardly narrow down the knife as the one used against Mockbee.^[31]

Rather, the red knife was found outside the warehouse in a vehicle located in the parking lot some distance from where Mockbee’s body was found. Although Dooley’s truck was eventually chosen to be searched as part of the police investigation, the truck can hardly be considered part of the “crime scene” in any meaningful sense of that term.^[32] Crucially, the knife was found nearly four months later, long after the victim’s body was presumably removed from the premises and the initial search had been conducted. The blade of this knife was not analyzed or compared, whether by autopsy or other forensic analysis, for a possible match with Mockbee’s wounds. The place, time, and circumstances thus provide no specific connection between the knife and the murder.

A nearly identical analysis applies to the latex gloves found in Dooley’s truck at the same time.33 In some ways, the admission of the gloves is perhaps more troublesome than admission of the red knife because, as Dooley points out, the only foundation the Commonwealth offered to admit the gloves was the lack of a perpetrator’s DNA at the scene, i.e., the absence of evidence.34 There were no latex gloves or other specific indications of their use found near the scene of the crime,35 and nothing about the gloves themselves or the box that contained them indicated their use in Mockbee’s murder. The mere lack of the defendant’s DNA at the scene does not indicate the use of latex gloves. Without some other affirmative reason to think the defendant wore gloves during commission, the absence of DNA cannot be sufficient grounds to admit the latex gloves in this case. There are far too many reasons why DNA might not be present at the scene other than the use of latex gloves.

Under such facts, Dooley makes a convincing argument that the red knife and latex gloves lack a clear, specific connection to this murder. As we have said recently, the trial court may only admit what a reasonable juror could find was the smoking gun, so to speak, not just any gun or even just any smoking gun.^[36] The identification of an alleged weapon does not have to be proven with absolute certainty as a preliminary matter, and the trial court has broad discretion on these preliminary relevance matters.^[37] But more is required than mere assertion of relevance by the Commonwealth. Here, the relevance objections Dooley raises are fair. The Commonwealth proffered too little foundational evidence to support the relevance of these tangible items as a preliminary matter. The trial court abused its discretion in overruling Dooley’s objection.

Admitting the knife and latex gloves was trial-court error. But we find it was harmless error. We cautiously conclude that the prejudicial effect of admitting these items could be adequately addressed through cross- examination and, as discussed during a bench conference at trial, these foundational issues were ready fodder for cross-examination.^[38] The points of attack would be obvious to Dooley’s capable defense counsel, would require little if any preparation to address, and could be brought to the jury’s attention without confusion or significant detour. With cross-examination, we can trust the jury accounted for the tenuousness of the connection between the items and the murder, and that the jury heard Dooley’s innocuous, job-related explanation for having the knife and gloves in his truck. Because of the opportunity to cross-examine the introducing witnesses, if not for any other reason, we find the error was harmless and did not affect the outcome.

2. Admitting the bleach found in Ed Yuska’s office was not an abuse of discretion.

Industrial bleach was found in TFS employee Ed Yuska’s office, which the Commonwealth said it wanted to introduce into evidence to prove the thoroughness of its investigation. Dooley claims this reason is pretextual: that the real reason was to introduce cumulative evidence of Dooley’s access to bleach and to suggest its use in the crime.

Unusual circumstances that morning made the use of bleach relevant. There was an unusually strong smell of and positive test for industrial bleach in the janitor’s closet just after the murder. That same morning, the employees noticed a lack of a strong bleach smell typically found in the break room after Dooley’s morning cleanings. The presence or absence of the order of bleach was relevant in this case. The bleach in Yuska’s office was relevant because Dooley had access to that office and the office was near the location of the murder. Thus, the time, place, and circumstances satisfy the identification requirements of KRE 901. It was then up to the jury to consider or disregard the bleach as evidence against Dooley. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this bleach.

C. Witness Chris Black’s pre-testimony interaction with the police, alleged to be in violation of KRE 615. Chris Black was a witness called by the Commonwealth at trial. Black, a friend of the murder victim’s husband, was investigated by police as a possible suspect. The police ultimately dropped their investigation of Black, and the Commonwealth brought charges against Dooley instead.^[39] Before Black was called to testify, the murder victim’s husband had just testified to explain why he gave Black $10,000 after the murder and gave Black the day off on the day of the murder. The husband explained that the money was simply a gift to a friend.^[40] According to Dooley, the Commonwealth subpoenaed Black to corroborate this testimony.

While serving the subpoena, the officer told Black that Dooley in his opening statement at trial accused Black of committing murder for hire. Dooley claims that this tip from the officer impermissibly alerted Black of the need to shape his trial testimony. Dooley argues this violated KRE 615, which requires trial judges to sequester certain witnesses. While Dooley does not allege the officer’s tip violated the black letter of KRE 615, he asserts it violated the “spirit” of that rule since Black, then a prospective witness for the Commonwealth, was exposed to the substance of Dooley’s defense before he took the stand. In effect, Dooley claims the Commonwealth’s Attorney improperly, at least indirectly through the officer, also an agent of the state, influenced Black’s testimony to help him eliminate himself as an alternate perpetrator.

KRE 615 generally makes the sequestration of witnesses mandatory when a party requests it.^[41] This sequestration is meant to preserve the authenticity of a prospective witness’s testimony by preventing influence, even if subtle and subconscious, of one witness’s testimony on a prospective witness’s testimony.^[42] Trial counsel may confer with their witnesses for certain purposes, such as basic preparation, but for counsel to relay previous testimony to prospective witness would be to violate the rule.^[43] While violations of KRE 615 at trial, inside the courtroom, are obviously issues we may resolve, this Court has also entertained the possibility of violation of the “spirit” of this rule,44 demonstrating the possibility of witness contamination inside and outside the courtroom. The issue was preserved at trial, so we review the trial court’s handling of the alleged violation for abuse of discretion.

Although the rule itself is silent as to remedies for violation, most reported cases present three avenues of remedy: (1) preemptively exclude the allegedly contaminated testimony; (2) permit the testimony notwithstanding a violation and allow the testimony subject to impeachment and probing cross-examination regarding the alleged contamination; and (3) reverse on appeal, if so required.^[45] Notably, this Court has preferred the second remedy,46 after holding a required hearing.^[47] In any case, a violation without prejudice would not entitle a party to any relief on appeal.^[48]

This Court has previously addressed alleged extra-courtroom violations of KRE 615. For example, in Hall v. Commonwealth,49 two witnesses rode to trial in the same car, although they denied discussing their anticipated testimony. Despite this denial, Appellants sought a mistrial for violation of KRE 615, ultimately appealing the trial court’s refusal. The Hall Court acknowledged that since Woodard v. Commonwealth50 it is possible the “spirit” of the rule may be violated outside the courtroom but found that the trial court did all that could be expected of it; therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion because it held a hearing on the possible extent of the alleged violation and allowed the witness to testify subject to cross-examination.^[51] In Commonwealth v. Collins,52 the Appellant claimed a police officer subject to a separation order violated the order by approaching defense witnesses after the trial had already begun and telling them the anticipated testimony of a witness for the Commonwealth.^[53] The Collins Court also considered this out-of-court interaction between witnesses as a possible violation of KRE 615 but found it was “not enough to warrant reversal,” even if “what transpired [] might have amounted to a technical violation of the separation order.”54 As in Hall, this Court affirmed the trial court’s decision to hold a hearing on the violation and to, in its discretion, allow the witness to testify subject to cross-examination on the matter.

The facts pertaining to the issue in this case are somewhat like Collins. First, intentional cooperation of state actors to influence the testimony of witness against a criminal defendant is always a concern. Second, the clarity and authenticity of a witness is testimony in a case like this, where the defendant is being convicted by circumstantial evidence, is especially important.

Black was at one point being investigated as an alternate perpetrator. And the existence of a possible financial motive between Mr. Mockbee and Black made them initial persons of interest for a reason. The jury would have had an interest in hearing Black’s untarnished testimony, just as the Commonwealth thought it was important to call him as a witness after presenting Mr.

52 933 S.W.2d 811 (Ky. 1996).

Mockbee’s testimony. Black was not necessarily an ordinary fact witness. He was there in some sense to prove himself not to be the perpetrator, and in another sense to narrow the array of possible perpetrators down to Dooley. But whether and to what extent Black’s testimony changed post-contamination is unknowable, and therefore the extent of prejudice is unknown.

Still, it seems Dooley’s counsel became aware of the possible contamination before Black was called to testify. This gave Dooley the opportunity to raise the issue to the trial court. Upon motion, the trial court conducted a hearing regarding the manner and extent of alleged influence on Black. While the allegation is troubling, we cannot say that it was error to allow Black to testify subject to cross-examination and impeachment on this issue. Defense counsel might find cold comfort in this opportunity to impeach and cross-examine an allegedly contaminated witness, especially where a witness’s testimony is directly relevant to the perpetrator’s identity, but in this case we are satisfied it was adequate. Further, while Dooley asserts the officer’s influence caused Black to testify more favorably for himself, it is hard to imagine how Black would not testify favorably for himself anyway. In other words, it is impossible to tell, as Dooley expressly concedes, how Black’s testimony would have been different, because he would presumably not be inclined to admit to murder for hire in the first place. Accordingly, consistent with Collins and other applicable authority, we affirm the trial court, finding no abuse of discretion in allowing the testimony despite a possible violation of KRE 615.

D. Denial of the missing-evidence instruction. When the victim’s body was found, a plastic restaurant carry-out bag was wrapped around the head. The investigators cut the bag into pieces when removing it from the head, and the bloodier fragment of the bag was apparently not collected for further investigation and was discarded. The collected fragment was then subject to DNA testing, but the abandoned piece was, of course, never tested. The tested fragment was positive for Dooley’s DNA and used as evidence at trial.

The missing bag fragment prompted Dooley to seek and tender a missing- evidence instruction. The proffered instruction allowed the jury to infer that the missing piece of bag tended to exonerate Dooley, but it also conditioned that inference, in accordance with Kentucky law, on a finding that the Commonwealth destroyed or withheld the fragment in bad faith, particularly to withhold exculpatory evidence.^[55] The trial court denied the requested instruction, finding no evidence of bad faith by the Commonwealth.

Dooley now raises essentially the same arguments on appeal as he did at trial that he was entitled to a missing-evidence instruction. But on appeal, Dooley also urges this Court to overturn precedent in our criminal law requiring proof the evidence was destroyed by the Commonwealth in bad faith. In particular, he argues that proving bad faith is an insurmountable feat. Further, and compellingly, Dooley points out that civil litigants only have to show that the opposing party had exclusive control over the evidence when it went missing and that the evidence is missing without explanation. This disparity is unjust, he argues, as much more is at stake for a criminal defendant such as himself than a civil litigant with respect to a financial or property interest.

We review the denial of instructions for abuse of discretion.^[56] Since a constitutional due-process error is alleged, we will be compelled to reverse if we find such an error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.^[57]

A missing-evidence instruction is one way to cure an alleged violation of due process per Brady v. Maryland,58 other than dismissal of the charge altogether or exclusion of the Commonwealth's evidence outright, the latter two being the more drastic remedies.^[59] Entitlement to the instruction arises when purportedly exculpatory evidence was destroyed by the Commonwealth intentionally or inadvertently "outside of normal practices," or when such evidence was so significant and forever lost that it compromises the defendant's due-process right to a fair trial.^[60] This standard, perhaps with minor modification, reflects the due-process standard established in Arizona v.

Youngblood,61 which held the Due Process Clause was not implicated by “the failure of the State to preserve evidentiary material of which no more can be said then that it could have been subjected to tests, the results of which might have exonerated the defendant.”62

Here, the state had the evidence available to it during its investigation, having separated it from the cleaner part of the bag later admitted into evidence. Disposing of the bloodier piece was admittedly a "mistake," at least according to an investigator's testimony. This would seem to make the disposal of that piece arguably "outside of normal practices," assuming mistakes are not a normal practice of police investigators.

However, the record evidence is that the only DNA found on part of that same article, the bag, was Dooley's and Mockbee's. There is no apparent indication that someone else's DNA would be present on the same bag to exculpate Dooley. Ultimately, as at trial, Dooley's fundamental assertion is that the missing bag fragment could have been subject to DNA analysis and that this DNA analysis could have had some exculpating effect, despite the tested part's clearly incriminatory effect. This hypothetical exculpating force is not enough under Youngblood or the Kentucky precedent that has since developed.^[63] So Dooley was not entitled to a missing-evidence instruction as a matter of due

61 488 U.S. ^[51] (1988).

process based on hypothetical exculpating potential.^[64] The trial court did not abuse its discretion by declining the missing-evidence instruction. There was no error here.

The Court recognizes it may soon be appropriate to reflect on the burden of proof criminal defendants sometimes bear under Youngblood and acknowledges that some authorities are critical of the current standard. The burden of proving bad faith is quite difficult to carry, and our historical imposition of a higher burden on criminal defendants than civil litigants is more than curious. But, finding no reversible error, we must decline the invitation to modify our settled precedent. Dooley was not in this case clearly entitled to the instruction, so the facts and issues presented on appeal would offer a poor foundation for such a change.

E. Whether Appellant is entitled to a new trial for cumulative error. Finally, Dooley claims that if the asserted errors do not individually warrant reversal, then the cumulative effect of the errors requires reversal. Under the cumulative error doctrine, when the cumulative effect of multiple errors renders the trial fundamentally unfair, reversal may be appropriate, even if identified errors would not individually support reversal.^[65]

The only error in this case was the trial court’s admission of Dooley’s red knife and the latex gloves. We determined these errors were harmless. The sum of two harmless errors cannot equal prejudicial error.^[66] And though it was likely improper for the officer who delivered the subpoena to tip off Chris Black about Dooley’s alt-perp theory of defense, the trial court’s remedy was adequate. We cannot say that these errors together rendered this trial fundamentally unfair, so we will not reverse for cumulative error.

IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons stated, we affirm the judgment. All sitting. All concur. COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT: Jared Travis Bewley Erin Hoffman Yang Assistant Public Advocates COUNSEL FOR APPELLEE: Daniel J. Cameron Attorney General of Kentucky Leilani Karin Marie Martin Assistant Attorney General
