The defense team also told prosecutors it has 11 extra pieces of evidence that could include books, papers, photographs and other objects that could be introduced at trial.
This is evidence that was not included in the prosecution's discovery. The defense team has invited to prosecution to inspect, test, copy or photograph the evidence.
Depositions are scheduled March 16th in the case. The prosecution has asked Highway Patrol Investigator David Rice and Tobie Meyer of the Prenger Family Center in Jefferson City to testify.
Bustamante spent time at the Prenger Center in the fall of 2009 after she was arrested for murder.
The trial is scheduled for June in Cole County with a jury being brought in from Springfield.
