The sentencing in the murder case of Latres Javontae Cockerham has been postponed due to the recent submission of additional evidence by the State of Maryland.
According to a court filing by Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Donna C. Pettersen, the State has provided supplemental disclosures concerning two police officers. Additionally, the defense has requested information about police officers who have testified in the case, specifically regarding any potential misconduct or credibility issues, known as Giglio material (see below). The State has reviewed internal affairs records related to these officers but believes that not all of the information is necessarily relevant or required to be disclosed.
