SALEM – The defense attorney for Daryll Jones, the Lynn teenager suspected of fatally stabbing a man in Gallagher Park last winter, wants the prosecution to turn over scientific tests as well as all statements of witnesses, their criminal records and any promises, awards or inducements made.Attorney John Andrews of Salem filed the pretrial motions this week in Salem Superior Court asking for the information from District Attorney Michael Sheehan.A hearing on the preliminary trial motions is scheduled for June 30 before Judge Timothy Q. Feeley. Some of the information requested by Andrews will be consented to by Sheehan without argument, while other information requested by Andrews will be decided by Feeley following arguments from both parties.Andrews additionally wants information as to when the offense occurred, the place, manner and means to commit the crime, as well as names and addresses of any other persons who may have actively participated in the fatal incident. He also wants to know of any alleged acts by Jones, occurring before or after the crime, that could be used against him at his trial.Jones, 17, of 11 Marianna St., an 11th grader at the Fecteau-Leary Junior/Senior High School, is charged with the premeditated first-degree murder of Huy Le on Feb. 12 at the Gallagher Playground.Le, 19, of Whiting Street, Lynn, was found dead by police around 9:30 p.m., following a 911 call.Few details have emerged as to why Le may have been stabbed since the search warrant affidavit and other court documents linking Jones to the incident were impounded following Jones’ arraignment in Lynn District Court in February and have remained impounded.The preliminary trial motions filed by Andrews will open the door, if allowed, for additional information regarding the case.Le was a 2009 Lynn English High School graduate, attending North Shore Community College in the liberal arts program and working at McDonald’s on the Lynnway at the time of his death.Jones remains held at the Middleton Jail without bail. He has pleaded innocent to the first-degree murder charge. A conviction on the charge carries a life sentence in state prison with no chance of ever being paroled.
