The detail was apparently revealed by the prosecutor in a motion filed last week, just a day before the trial had been due to begin. Case files typically contain documents, images, videos, logs of evidence, and more. Evidence (going either way) in Pitts&#8217; case may yet be recovered, so the trial is not necessarily off for good. Pitts had pleaded not guilty in the case.<\/p>\n<p>District Attorney John Creuzot claimed that while police were immediately aware of what happened, it took them four months to come clean with his prosecutor&#8217;s office.
