raisincharlie said:I agree Jilly, LE is sharing nothing not required by law. The search warrants they have to forward - at least the ones pertaining to JY's property. I suspect that people interviewed by LE have been told to expect a defense interview - the choice of if they talk to that person is theirs alone. LE or the DA can advise but that's it.
The interesting thing about NC, and I will have to search a bit further to find this out for sure - there is no reciprocal discovery requirement. In other words, if JY is charged, the defense does not have to share anything developed during their investigation except for information relating to alibi witnesses. I'm still searching the codes for a better understanding of this.

Thinking about it more....I definitely think the Fishers' would slam the door in the face of a defense PI because they have been so quiet up to this point. I guess the PI would be doing background checks though.
I'm just not really sold yet on whether the defense has hired a PI or not. As far as they are concerned imo JY was checked into that hotel and he was sleeping. No reason yet to look for "the real killer".
I really don't know. I don't think LE has to give the results of all the lab tests until he's charged and then the prosecution would do that. So they're in the dark as much as us.
I can't see why a PI would be involved right now except to maybe do a few background checks and interview the hotel staff & guests, to try and shore up his alibi between midnight & 6am. I'm sure LE has done this too.
