Lawyers of a man, who is accused of kidnapping and killing a University of Illinois scholar from China in 2017, say that they have been overwhelmed by evidence. In a court filing on Friday, Assistant Federal Defender Elisabeth Pollock wrote that the defense has received approximately 11,500 pages of written discovery. She has also received dozens of disks, containing audio and video recordings, photographs, computer history and telephone forensics. Pollock says that defense attorneys want prosecutors to disclose which evidence that they will use for the trial. Not doing so will, “unfairly force the defense counsel to defend against the entirety of the enormous volume of government discovery in this case.” Government attorneys announced back in January 19th of this year that they will be seeking the death penalty against Christensen. They are calling for the death penalty, since he apparently tortured 26-year-old Yingying Zhang, before he killed her. Her body has not yet been found either. Jury selection for the trail is scheduled to begin in April.
