Retired police detective James Daniels says his notes show that several people named a man who was angry with 16-year-old Jessica Briggs, but the official report says otherwise.

Retired police detective James Daniels rebuffed suggestions that he did not pursue viable leads, and said the investigation led officials in other directions.

Glenn A. Brown, the second key witness to recant, testified in 1992 that he saw defendant Anthony H. Sanborn with a knife looking for Jessica Briggs, but on Tuesday he said that was untrue.

Attorneys for Anthony H. Sanborn Jr., who is seeking to have his 1992 conviction overturned, hope to show the exclusions of information were aimed at hiding exculpatory evidence.

Amy Fairfield hopes to show investigator James Daniels withheld material before the 1992 murder trial that would have helped her client’s case, violating a constitutional principle established in 1963.

The opposing sides offer alternate views on Hope Cady’s accounts in the brutal 1989 slaying of Jessica Briggs, including one in 2015 in which she largely stuck by her original story.

Twelve days of hearings to decide whether Anthony Sanborn’s conviction will be overturned begin Tuesday.
