Not much has been discussed regarding Mort Smith, Andrea L's PI from Chicago. He has been in court and now appears to be the custodian of the sensitive crime scene photos.

As proof Mort is the one responsible, see the 10/16/09 Motion Hearing, Part 2:

10/16/09 Motions Hearing about sealed remains pictures. Picture discussion starts about 2:20
Mort Smith, Part 2 of video, 8:15, Mort talks to Andrea (pic discussion continues in Part 3):
During crime scene picture discussion (he is sitting behind defense table), Mort goes forward to whisper to Andrea for a few seconds, whereupon she jumps up and tells the judge that " one thing you could do, is, perhaps, you might want to have one member of the team, uh, or, or 2 members of the team, just agree to be sort of guardians of the photographs, and make sure that we show them, and retrieve them, and put them in a secure place"
Then Baez confers with Andrea for a few seconds, and says "Actually judge, I don't think that that would work because of the amount of travel, we have people out of state, it's not like we have people in state"
Part 3 of video, :50 seconds Part 3 of video, :50 seconds ... re=related )
Baez says "I propose that we allow actually, burned discs of the photographs that our experts specifically in that field would need."
Some attorney discussion, then:
"They cold be personally delivered to the expert, that could be our option, personally handed and signed for"
Judge says "I'm going to grant your motion" whereupon Andrea, Casey and Baez all start writing.
Judge want them personally delivered, how many copies out there, originals to be returned to Baez, and a sworn statement that no copies were made.
I have done some preliminary research into this man and find that his webhost is in Orlando....odd since he is in Chicago. I find it odd because his webhost appears to be rather small time, does transcription on the side, and has an interest in sports cars. Why does the "sports / exotic" cars theme seem to run so heavily through this defense team and trickle down to the reward money?
I am also curious why Mort chose not to press charges against JJ regarding the illegal taping of the interview. Is it possible that a particular interview tactic or agenda would have been evident thus causing damage to the defense?
Thoughts??
