AZL,
Just wondering the legalities of the "person in the car" situation. If that name was sealed, and the defense wanted that person to come and testify, would JSS be compelled or bound to leave their name under seal because of how it was provided in the guilt phase? Is it possible this is the reason that person is testifying in the dark? Although, I'm not sure who it could be or what testimony they could provide that would necessitate that?
Also, one other thought for levity...maybe they were able to get GOD to come and testify??
I don't remember why Gus was in the car or why it mattered who was with him, but no, there's no reason I can think of that this person's name would have to have been provided secretly then or now.
God, I'm pretty sure, would not want to keep his opinion secret.
It's late and I'm tired and I x'd out of an article I was reading so I can't reference it here BUT anyway. It's about the lawyers who are trying to reverse closing the courtroom. Apparently they aren't just appealing it, they have somehow stopped the witness from testifying until ruling. The defenses can call other witness but not this one until decision. Is that a good sign or positive sign that it will be overturned? They mean business!
The media lawyers have filed a stay request, which would do what you describe. They have to ask JSS for the stay first, and then they can ask the AZ Court of Appeals. The request has NOT been granted yet--it was only filed at the last minute today.
