Gloucester County prosecutors have 30 days to turn over medical records and other documents to the defense team of a Deptford police officer charged with a friend’s murder.
James Stuart, 30, pleaded not guilty in November to first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and other related charges in the January 2013 killing of David Compton, 27, of Woodbury.
Assistant Prosecutor Dana Anton requested the time to transcribe documents and redact parts of Compton’s thousand-page medical history.
Results of other lab tests — including ballistics — have been turned over to Stuart’s attorney, John Eastlack, Anton said Monday.
Early on the morning of Jan. 5, 2013, Compton was shot in the head at the police officer’s Stamford Avenue home in Deptford.
Stuart called the police department to report Compton was “shot in the cheek” when Stuart’s revolver “went off,” according to authorities.
Compton died at a hospital six days later.
Deptford police suspended Stuart without pay.
The officer’s attorney requested an internal affairs investigation of the incident that is ongoing, Anton said.

The next hearing is April 28.
