Update: State may call 257 witnesses in Derderian trial

PROVIDENCE -- State prosecutors may call as many as 257 witnesses in its case against Station nightclub co-owner Michael A. Derderian, according to a list of witness subpoenas released by the Superior Court this afternoon.

The majority of the subpoenas went to survivors of the Feb. 20, 2003, fire, which killed 100 people at the West Warwick nightclub. The potential witnesses include Eric Powers and David Filice, who were members of Great White, the band whose fireworks touched off the blaze.

Others on the list include police and fire department officials, victims' family members, expert witnesses and the wife of Michael Derderian.

In all, there are 26 out-of-state witnesses and 231 from Rhode Island.

Jury selection in the trial is expected to begin Sept. 5. He faces 200 counts of misdemeanor manslaughter. His brother, Jeffrey Derderian, faces the same charges; he is being tried separately.
