Lawyers for the reporter, Jana Winter, have previously said they need to see the notebook in order to properly fight a subpoena by Holmes' lawyers that could force Winter to reveal her sources for a story she wrote about the notebook. In a filing Tuesday that was made public Wednesday, Holmes' lawyers say no law allows Winter's lawyers to read the notebook and suggested that the request was a sneaky ploy to find out more about
what could be the key piece of evidence in the case.
Winter's lawyers' request, Holmes' side wrote in the filing, is "a vehicle to obtain broader access to information she had no right to access in the first place."
Holmes mailed the notebook to his psychiatrist just hours before the shooting, which killed 12 people and for which Holmes could face the death penalty, occurred. Winter, citing anonymous law-enforcement sources, subsequently reported that the notebook contains violent drawings and plans for murder.
Holmes' lawyers said that disclosure violated the gag order in the case and asked for sanctions against the prosecution. Then, when none of the officials who had access to the notebook admitted under oath to being the source of the leak, Holmes' attorneys said the matter had become a possible perjury investigation.
If Winter is ordered to testify and refuses as she has indicated she would she could face jail time.
