"The defense sought the records to use as potentially mitigating evidence to show a jury considering ordering Vance's execution."
Sure sounds like the defense knows what is in the cards for Vance, and are trying to gather everything they can to avoid the death penalty. Problem is - exactly what sort of mitigating evidence could possibly come up to make this brutal rape and murder "less bad"? This was a horrible and ruthless crime, committed by someone with no love for life or others (except possibly for his own neck).
Nothing mitigates Pressley's death. She was murdered as the finish of a horribly brutal and evil act. If the prosecution chooses not to seek the death penalty, they are not seeking justice.
