Trial in federal court is being delayed again in the case of an Americus woman accused of producing child sex abuse materials.
Brandi Snyder’s defense team successfully gained a delay from a trial date of Jan. 23 to March 20 as the evidence review process continues. Prosecutors are “preparing and delivering the digital discovery” to the defense expert in the case, so time is needed to review said evidence.
Besides the new trial date, motions are due Feb. 21 before a status conference March 6.
Snyder was charged in mid-August with two counts of producing child sex abuse materials, along with single counts of possession and distribution. Documents through the federal court’s PACER system now indicate more than 150 documents and three audio and/or video recordings as part of the case. If convicted, Snyder faces federal prison terms of five to 20 years on the distribution charge and up to 20 years in prison on the possession charge.
