The more I think about it, the more this could make sense. If in the beginning of this case, RM was still unbelieving that KC could be responsible (pre-doc dumps) and he had this picture (as well as KC), could he have not reached a financial agreement (split) with KC for the sale of the picture, to help her secure a defense attorney? She would given him the rights to publish it for a share of profits?
During the in camera with Strickland, wasn't it stated that KC swore that she had NOT signed over rights to Baez....but was she asked if she signed over rights to ANYONE ELSE? Could JS have "sealed" his identity but ruled that he did not find a conflict since it was basically RM who was turning over money to the defense?
And can't recall the wording from CA's deposition (re: zip it), but wasn't there a comment about "the person who could have leaked this....something or other"? Could they have been talking about RM? That he COULD have leaked it, but it wouldn't have been in his best interest, etc...
