A Randolph county defendant previously convicted of Armed Robbery was granted a new trial after we requested the trial transcript! After filing a Motion for New Trial, we requested the trial transcript. The court reporter was unable to produce the transcripts from the entire day of trial due to an equipment malfunction. A hearing was held to determine whether the transcript could be recreated from memory, and when it became obvious to the court that such could not happen, the conviction was set aside and a new trial granted.
