Magbanua jail call recordings
The jail call recordings became a procedural issue on Day 3 of the Magbanua retrial when the defense raised a late-disclosure concern, prompting the court to order a Richardson hearing. By the close of proceedings that day the state had provided a list of the recordings with date ranges; five calls were in Spanish and remained uninterpreted. The recordings carried no formal exhibit designation at the time.

About
