Seven subpoena forms will be mailed to prisoner Jerry Don Chrisman to use in his lawsuit against McDonald County Prosecuting Attorney Walter Geeding, thanks to a ruling made by U. S. District Court Judge Gary Fenner Thursday.
Chrisman,34, is scheduled to go to trial March 21 in McDonald County Circuit Court, on four counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child, two counts of child abuse, promoting prostitution, sexual exploitation of a minor child, and four counts of statutory rape, three of them, involving children younger than 14, according to court records. He claims Geeding denied him due process and is asking that actions be taken against the prosecutor.
The subpoena forms will be sent to media outlets KSNF, KOAM, KODE, the Neosho Daily News, McDonald County Press, and the Joplin Globe, according to court records.
The judge warned Chrisman he "must specify when he returns the subpoena forms exactly what documents he seeks from each party or non-party and that (he) must pay for any costs required to obtain discovery he seeks from non-parties."
