While I think it is rather shabby of the defense to give a copy of their motion to the media BEFORE they filed it, and it might be unethical, it is not illegal correct?
Interesting to see if any other local media outlet will report on this, because it seems pretty obvious, even to me, that there is more than one motion to recuse out there. We all know how important it is to the different local stations, ratings wise, to have the 'inside track' or scoop the other guy.
I would love to see this story get as much press as the original story did because it is even more interesting. I strongly suspect that reporters and other read here, so if someone from the media is reading along with us right now (30 memebers and 38 guests), how about stepping up to the plate and taking a swing at this? It shouldn't be too hard for an intrepid reporter to verify this - don't they have all sorts of 'experts around to turn to?
