A defendant in Austin's yogurt shop murders was in court Monday for his second pre-trial hearing.
Robert Springsteen IV says he was wrongly convicted of murder in 1991. The state overturned his conviction last year and is giving him a new trial.
Springsteen's attorney said the prosecution is now dragging its feet in sharing evidence to the defense. He said that's because the case against Springsteen had no basis to begin with.
"A five-year-old with a Big Chief tablet and a number two pencil would have done a better job of investigating this crime scene. This is the most horribly botched crime scene I've seen in more than 35 years of practicing the law, and God knows how many murder trials," defense attorney Joe James Sawyer said.
Springsteen was sentenced to life in prison after he confessed to murdering four girls inside the "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt" shop in North Austin.
However, defense lawyers say police heard more than 50 other confessions as well.
