Ya'll make my head spin (in a good way), So anything JB says, takes away from his being able to claim Attorney-Client privilege?
I'll lump it all together as JB appears to do, even though I don't think his client's visible, observable reactions and voluntary statements while he was not present could possibly be covered by A/C privilege. Anyway, he is whining because others are describing or characterizing her reactions and have stated she asked to be sedated. Tapes would show her, with no spin. If this is all really privileged, then why is he describing and characterizing her reactions to the media, and stating that she was sedated, giving his interpretation? Isn't that breaching her privilege?
This all gets silly at a point, because he never seems to make a real, supportable, clear legal argument. I have no desire to destroy A/C privilege, however awful I find the defendant. No doubt non-verbal communications could be covered. For example, if Mr. B and the defendant were taped and he was asking her, "Did you do it, Casey?" and she gave a vigorous, visible up and down head shake, I'd call it an A/C communication and call it a day. It's a whole other thing if what you hear on your cell radio makes you lose your appetite for nacho chips, get nasty sweaty palms and go all blotchy and unattractive.
