BILL SHEAFFER: Analysis Of Evidence Released 02/16/10
http://www.wftv.com/video/22582915/index.html
He explained that it is clear the defense is still on a fishing expedition to muster up something to back up Todd's claims. "
If they had the proof ...they would produce the exculpatory evidence required by the rules of procedure. That coupled with the fact that they keep going off into the area that they need the Texas Equusearch records....they are still fishing , trying to come up with something that they do not have, that they never did have . They missed their deadline. They have not produced their proof and that is because THEY DON'T HAVE IT!!" This whole defense response was entirely inappropriate"

This tape below is the hearing where the original 32 searchers are being discussed. The two gentleman that alerted the OCSD that Mr. Lyon was in their opinion tampering with their testimony ( allegedly) were on this list of the 32! Note the date of the hearing , OVER A YEAR AGO!

This was in February, and here we are , eight months later and now they have possibly went past fishing to manufacturing.....allegedly.

"Counsel for the defense was overly broad as it relates to materiality. You have already denied their request once because it was done inappropriately. Now they have come in and done a new motion. It is still done inappropriately.
The request made by counsel is absurd.
I am being overly generous in my characterization of that.": Mark Nejame to the judge.
I already thought that since the initial calls made to the TES volunteers recently were monitored by court order by the retired judge and TES, that if, as and when the defense goes back to the judge with their new list of all the folks that were on Suburban Drive to ask for them to be deemed relevant, that the judge would order any subsequent questioning of them be either also, likewise monitored, or done under oath by subpoena.
Now with this new development of two of the searchers alleging wrongdoing during the questioning, on the heels of Laura Buchanan being investigated for falsifying a document.....now the defense is going to have even more restrictions on how and when and with what safeguards the defense is permitted to question the searchers further.
LP once opined that Casey Anthony lives her life ten minutes at a time. It seems her lawyers do too/
This reminds me of the hysterical request of the defense to review the evidence, alone, without OCSD present. OCSD is going to be required to take the stand in this murder trial and testify that they maintained the three C s, care, custody and control, over the evidence. Otherwise it will not be admitted, period. Not only did the judge deny the defense's silly request, he added more scrutiny to the procedure. He ordered , of course the OCSD would be there, AND a rep from the State Attorney's office, AND it would be video taped.
The defense is going to be under similar, highly monitored circumstances so long as the law provides that it is not violating the defendants work product, etc. They would be horrible chess players, they never stop to think...hmmmm ..
if we do this...what will be the response and is that a wise choice. I bet I take more time choosing dinner off a menu than the forethought that goes into their actions. Good grief! As always, just my opinion after watching the hearings again.
Here the judge asks specifically what the defense is looking for and Andrea informs him they are looking for things beyond what the TES records indicate. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXZ_GSPyk0[/ame]

This was a clue as to the very poor understanding of Mr. Baez as to what and who is protected under his umbrella of a/c privilege. I wont be at all surprised if he tries to argue his investigator does not have to answer the state's questioned based on that privilege. Normally that would be correct, but those privileges stop at committing criminal acts, like tampering with witnesses. Hello. Come in Tokyo!

Mrs. Drane-Burdick, "We have our perennial issue of the notice requirement". Perennial...Lasting or active through the year or through many years. Lasting an indefinitely long time; enduring:
I'll say! We have perennial issues in this case!

Mrs. Drane Burdick will mop the floor with the defense if she feels they were tampering with the State's witnesses!
