The public defender representing Tammy Sytch filed the following motion with the court in Florida yesterday:
Under Fla.R.Crim.P.3.190(f), defendant, Tamara Lynn Sytch, moves for a continuance of the February 16, 2023, PreTrial Conference on the following grounds:
1. The defendant in this case is currently charged by Information with one count of DUI Manslaughter, one count of DWLS with Death and six counts of misdemeanor DUI.
2. Several rounds of depositions have been completed and additional depositions are outstanding and being scheduled in this matter.
3. The defense is also waiting on law enforcement to either complete or provide a copy of the Traffic Homicide Investigation report. The State has assisted the defense in requesting this information from law enforcement.
4. Additional time is needed to prepare this case for trial.
5. The defendant previously waived her right to speedy trial.
6. The defendant would request a double roll continuance.
7. Assistant State Attorney Ashley Terwilleger has been contacted and does not object to the granting of this motion.
8. This motion is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
Should the court sign off on the motion, it would be the third such delay in recent months.
Sytch, 50, has been charged one count of DUI causing death (DUI Manslaughter, a felony in the third degree), one count of causing death while operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked driver’s license (a felony in the third degree), four counts of DUI causing injury to a person, and three counts of DUI causing damage to property following the March 2022 death of 75-year old Julian Lasseter during a traffic incident in Ormond Beach, Florida.
Back in August 2022, Sytch waived her right to a speedy trial "arising out of the criminal episode made the subject of this prosecution; specifically, the right to be tried within 175 days of her being taken into custody as provided by law and Rule 3.191, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure." At the time, Sytch was given "criminal indigent status", meaning that since she is without sufficient income to afford a lawyer for defense in her criminal case.
