RE: Commonwealth v, Jermaine Watt, et al, HDCR2009-01068, evidentiary hearing
Dear Judge Kinder:
On September 9, 2013, pursuant to a subpoena issued by defense counsel, you ordered
the Attorney General's Office to produce all documents in Sergeant Joseph Ballou's possession
that the Attorney General's Office believes to be privileged by September 18, 2013, to be
reviewed by your Honor in camera. After reviewing Sergeant Ballou's file, every document in
his possession has already been disclosed. This includes grand jury minutes and exhibits, and
police reports. Therefore, there is nothing for the Attorney General's Office to produce for your
review on September 18, 2013.
Please do not hesitate to contact mc should your require anything further.

Sincerely,,

^

Kris C. Foster
