The murder trial of Dreau Rogers in Deadwood faced a temporary halt due to the absence of crucial reports from the Rapid City Special Response Team detailing the events of January 22, 2022.
Rogers is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife, Destiny Dawn, and claims another individual, Donovan Derrek, fired the fatal shot.
The trial pause occurred on the third day when defense attorneys discovered 20 pages of previously undisclosed SRT reports.
The defense argued for a mistrial, asserting their right to review the documents, but the judge rejected the mistrial grounds, leading to a brief recess.
The trial has since resumed.
