Trial date delay request made by former North Middle School teacher on child pornography, sexual exploitation of a minor charges

The federal public defender appointed to represent former North Middle School reading teacher on child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor charges filed a motion this week asking that her trial be delayed to allow him more time to prepare her case.

Amanda Schweitzer, 38, Joplin, is scheduled to go to trial next month but is asking that the trial be delayed until at least July.

Ian A. Lewis, Schweitzer's lawyer, said he needed more time for discovery, "potential motions to suppress" and to evaluate the evidence.

In addition to her federal charges, Schweitzer has been charged with felony statutory rape in Jasper County and kidnapping, statutory rape and statutory sodomy charges in Newton County.

    Just because she is a female that shouldn't make this charge any less severe, but she will probably get off with time served or a minimal sentence, and the family will win a civil suit against the school district.
    They really need to make an example of her. If a male did this to a 13 year old female they would throw the book at him.

    To me, that is injustice.

    I do wish there was a different picture of her. This one makes her look like she is saying, why don't you just leave me alone, this is all your fault anyway.

    What an ugly face.
