McGREGOR W. SCOTT, United States Attorney, DAWRENCE W. RICE, JR., Assistant U.S. Attorney, Fresno, California.
GOVERNMENT'S MOTION FOR DISMISSAL OF INDICTMENT, AND ORDER THEREON.
Pursuant to Rule 48(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the government moves to dismiss the Indictment against defendant Rebecca Denise Maxwell in the interest of justice, based on the results of further investigation into the alleged offense and, specifically, review of reports of Federal Defender Investigator Manny Vasile's interviews of Laprice Reynolds, Deputy U.S. Marshal Gil Rodriguez, and Christina Manning. Put simply, those interviews cast doubt on whether the defendant was attempting to harbor a fugitive or taking the fugitive to turn himself in to the police.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that the Indictment in 1:05-cr-0024 AWI against defendant Rebecca Denise Maxwell be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
