These case files document felony cases filed and prosecuted in district court. They contain the case number, defendant's name, charge, indictment and arraignment dates, plea, bond amount, trial date, verdict, and sentence. May also contain police records, offense reports, witness lists, subpoenas, FBI reports, photographs, and attorneys' notes. This information is largely duplicated in case files and could be weeded after the case is closed and all appeals heard.
