So, I did a deep-dive ... I have questions ...
From pre-trial reports, I've read neighbour Marissa Hall (college student watching Dexter with her boyfriend) heard a "click" of the door-lock after she knocked on Garrett's residence. I can't find her actual court testimony, but what I can find of its reporting makes no mention of this door lock "click." Seems like it would be a major detail in that day's reporting, no?
Also, do we know the sounds Officer Wentworth heard were from another person, or could they have been Garrett himself trying to lift his body up before collapsing?
One more question, I found a timeline that mentions NH called his attorney Mani Tafari (who is featured in the 2-part HBO doco) within the hour of Garrett's death:

It's corroborated here (info source unknown):
Potsdam’s Nightmare: What Happened to Garrett Phillips?
Can we take that for fact? If so, why? Would it would be inadmissible in court due to client/attorney privilege? Anything to make out of that call, if true?
But, I also found that she "consciously disregarded" a witnesses' attorney request whilst being investigated:

Is this what you're talking about? I did some research and found a person who claims to be an eyewitness. But, I don't know how seriously to take them. I can't find proper record of their police statement. I don't know why they were never called to be a witness (which suggests credibility issues). I also don't understand if they saw what they claim they saw, why they didn't mention this to the two people right in front of them as it was happening (again, credibility issues).
And, if they were "consciously disregarded," does that mean they were investigated? Why would they be "investigated" if they are just making an eyewitness statement? And why would their attorney request be disregarded?
Does anyone have a link to the testimonies? Or are they sealed/unavailable?
For what has transpired, I'm surprised this nine-year-old thread doesn't have more activity.

Hmmn. My understanding is that her license was suspended based on pattern of behaviours related to multiple cases. In terms of NH's case, I know she violated "The Brady Rule," in regards to Gregory Brown's statement that he saw John Jones walk into 100 Market St fifteen minutes before Garrett's murder. Technicality required her to share this with defence, even though--if I understand correctly--she knew hospital video evidence proved it false and rendered it irrelevant.The reason Mary Rain had her law license suspended for 2 years is supposedly connected to the witness in this case. The eye witness gave a statement that he saw NH at 5.10 jumping from the window wearing latex gloves. I do not want to violate TOS my lining it here but it’s available if you search online.
