APPLETON, Wis. (WTAQ) - The Minnesota man accused of impersonating a police officer and assaulting a teen girl at the Fox River Mall was in court Tuesday.
In a continuation of last week's motion hearings, Jamie Sames' attorney doesn't want the alleged 13-year-old victim to be able to identify him at trial.
The prosecution and defense will now submit written briefs. The last brief is scheduled to be submitted September 30. Judge John Des Jardins is scheduled to make his ruling roughly a week later.
Sames' attorney Nila Robinson argues that showing the girl surveillance video from Target, shortly after the alleged assault, helped her identify Sames in a photo lineup.
She wants both ID's thrown out, arguing that the girl could only give a vague description of Sames until she viewed the video. Robinson also points to the grainy quality of the surveillance video.
However, prosecutors feel the police acted in the interest of public safety. District Attorney Carrie Schneider says she does not think this motion will make or break the case.
Sames's jury trial is scheduled for October 25-27.
