If LE requests to talk with the client, then yes they do have to go through the lawyer. However, if the client on their own decides that they want to speak with LE, for example Casey, she would have to do exactly what George told her she could do, write a letter to the Sheriff, or whomever working with the case and say she would like to speak with them, she can request her lawyer be there or not.
I just wondered if it was different if it wasn't initiated by Casey. Clearly if Casey suddenly wanted to speak to LE without her attorney she could do it. But I didn't think they were allowed to approach HER and ask her for a meeting - without it going through an attorney. I think JB feels that LE encouraged the meeting and so I was wondering if he felt it was a back door way of getting her to talk without her attorney.
Frankly I don't have a hard time believing they might have purposely approached her when JB was out of town. But if she agreed, then I don't have a problem with it. I just hope they can figure out a way to get it in at trial.
