Lieutenant Lenk's prior sworn statements about his arrival at the Avery property
At the Day 22 charge conference, Strang said Lenk had been confronted on cross-examination with two prior sworn statements about when he arrived at the Avery property. Strang argued that they could be viewed as materially inconsistent with Lenk's trial testimony and requested specific jury guidance on prior inconsistent statements.
