Defense lawyers accuse prosecutors of failing to turn over dozens of documents related to the 2003 raid. As a result, they'll ask Superior Court Judge Susan McGuirl to dismiss the case during a hearing scheduled for this morning. Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas and six other Narragansetts are charged with misdemeanor offenses ranging from disorderly conduct to assault. Prosecutors say the defendants missed similar deadlines to share information and will have plenty of time to review the new material before trial. The arrests happened when police raided a tribal smoke shop that was not collecting state taxes. A federal appeals court later ruled the shop was operating illegally. -- The Associated Press Posted by Brandie Jefferson CommentsMRA | January 17, 2008 10:27 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
