This is my guess, based on what I have seen. Certain reporters handle the courts. They are at the courthouse frequently and deliberately try to make friends with everyone in there, because everyone is a potential source. They trade on information and the ability to favorably influence a story, provide a sympathetic voice for whoever is their friend.So how did one of NP’s besties get the scoop?
A big case like this hits, and everyone and their brother, is interested in the story. Then that sympathetic reporter pulls in his/her chits...and also spreads that information to his friends with whom he has gotten tight with in other cases. He does so under the guise of asking for a comment about the client's impending arrest.
Is this scenario beginning to sound familiar? NP wasn't given much of a lead time, which is why I believe LE was not the leak. Did someone along the line leak? Sure, but not the guys investigating this case. No way.
