All true but my understanding this document was previously sealed at that didn't stop No Case Norm from talking about it with the press. I'm not sure atty's not having a hard copy of the report does much when extensive note taking seems to be permitted and no gag order issued.BBM
Heller said she was “concerned the report was not protected” the way she envisioned when the order was issued.
She said the report will remain sealed and will be available for lawyers to review, but they cannot have their own copies.
Pattis asked if he can discuss the report with prosecutors.
Heller said he can represent his client without violating her order.

We can then have the entire report released in drips and drabs to the public. If this is allowed (I'm honestly not sure based on the fact that the report was sealed before and it was widely quoted by Pattis) I'm not sure how the missing victim and children/family are well served as it gives Pattis the opportunity to create a 'picture' of the missing person that could be virtually of his own creation based on tidbits from the report. If he were allowed to do this at a time when the person under discussion is missing I'm not sure that is serving justice on any level.
Frankly the statement from Judge Heller seemed weak about the entire report and the situation with how it was released in the first place and was a huge disappointment to me in that she did zero to reprimand the individuals charged with safeguarding the report and discussing it with the press.
Actually think entire situation regarding a confidential evaluation being released to the public is shameful in my mind. MOO
