““As it relates to the issue of vindictive prosecution, this Court has reviewed the information also on this request. This Court has reviewed time lines, has reviewed the information that’s been provided by the parties. Again, this Court is not making a ruling that they can use [it] as a defense, this Court is not making any ruling as of today that the State is pursuing this prosecution in retaliation for the exercise of a protected right, or that there is any animus by the Prosecutors or by agencies of the prosecution that— that has been established. But given what I know at this point, I am going to allow discovery on that particular issue.””
