Feldman said that the detective initially denied he had tape-recorded the interview but later admitted he had. Feldman and Alcock have not been able to obtain the interview because of the gap in jurisdictions.

Hi Az...since this interview was obtained in AZ and not done legally....doesn't the tape actually become the property of the Tempe PD ? The fact he said he didn't tape and then recant's...that bothers me alot....thx's....
No, I don't see why the Tempe PD would own the tape. Besides, "possession is 9-tenths of the law" and it doesn't do much good to own something you don't have possession of.
I agree that his initial denial of taping the meeting is disturbing--it suggests he knows he did something wrong. I would like to know if the Tempe officers admit listening to it...
AZ...sorry to bother you again...it appears in the article the Det. spoke with the "informant" and EJ. 2 people if I read this correctly. Therefore, could he have also taped the interview with the "Informant" as well, and could he interview said "informant" without their legal counsel there? Thank You!
There's no indication that the informant was being questioned about his/her involvement in any crime, so no need to give Miranda warnings, etc. Moreover, I suspect the informant sought out LE to provide the information, not the other way around.
Hi AZ-
Can the feds charge EJ with murder, kidnapping etc. if the state charges are dismissed?
And again, thank you.
Yes, if there are federal charges to be brought.
AZ....what's the likelihood if any, that if EJ's charges are dismissed, TPS's would be dismissed as well ? Thx's...
Their charges are separate. I don't see any reason why TPS's charges would be dismissed.
