No one on either side of this legal battle will give details over what evidence has been collected, worrying about jeopardizing the investigation or giving out strategic details on how they plan to proceed.
After sitting down for the first time with Sidney Moorer this weekend, his defense attorney Kirk Truslow said he was able to go through some of the evidence the prosecution has collected so far.
Upon seeing the evidence, he believes the case will go to trial.

Truslow said that his client maintains his innocence. He could not offer an explanation why authorities would link Sidney Moorer to Elvis' death.
"Honestly, at this point, I have no idea other than they knew each other. I've not been privy to what they believed to be the evidence," he said.
Truslow said the few details that were made available to him left him "perplexed" as to why his client would be named a suspect. He would not elaborate on those details.
"I'm not even sure that you can classify it as evidence. It's more of a theory that they just ran with from the very beginning," Truslow said.
According to Truslow, Sidney Moorer was surprised when an investigation resulted in a murder charge, but he remains in good spirits.
"He knows he didn't do anything wrong. Having said that, no one likes to be locked up in jail without a bond," Truslow said.
