Trial Court Cause No. 59,739-B
ORDER
Appellant was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child. On March 5, 2019, the State filed its brief. In the brief, the State uses the names of victims and/or witnesses who were children at the time of the offense. Accordingly, we STRIKE the State's brief.
We ORDER the State to file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, an amended brief that identify any victim or witness who was a child at the time of the offense either generically ("victim" or "complaining witness") or by initials only, including when quoting portions of the record.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to Greg Merkle and the Wichita County District Attorney's Office.
