snipBold by me. If I'm not mistaken, JB said in a news interview a few weeks ago, it was just after the hearing where KC had to appear, that he doesn't need all the stuff he's requesting in his motions, that he just wants everything that's out there. Sorry I don't have a link - perhaps someone else will also remember this.

I'm certainly not a lawyer (I don't even want to play one on TV) so maybe some of our resident legal eagles will chime in here.
I seem to recall that defense has to exercise some due diligence in regard to obtaining exculpatory information. I know that prosecution is required to surrender information in their possession that is exculpatory, but isn't there usually a caveat of sorts to the effect that if the defense COULD have found it for themselves if they had tried then the prosecution isn't on the hook?
