The defense and prosecution in Josh Duggar‘s child pornography care are debating the scheduling of his upcoming trial. Last week, his defense team, led by attorney Justin Gelfand, filed a motion in the Western District of Arkansas Court to delay the trial, which was previously scheduled for July 6, until February 2022.
“The defense has retained an independent computer forensic expert who must conduct a computer forensic examination of each of the devices at issue – a time-consuming process that requires review at a government facility for the one device the Government alleges contained child pornography,” the motion reads.
The defense said it requires “additional time to complete its review of the discovery and, separately, to pursue certain investigative leads based on the discovery.”
