SUMMARY: William “Polo” Edwards, who is incarcerated for murder, has made over 600 calls to the state‘s key witness, Shadow Robinson, according to Assistant District Attorney Gwen Agho. Robinson is expected to be a powerful witness in the case against Edwards. The content of the calls is still unclear as the prosecution is still reviewing the calls and texts obtained from the detention center. Edwards’ attorney argues that the calls should not be admissible since they were only handed over six days before the trial. The judge will consider individual calls if they are presented by the state. The trial is expected to last two weeks.
