A few thoughts:
The only thing the defense can do a the moment in response to SA's motion is to file an objection. If the defense has anything at all that they intend to introduce at trial or have any of their witnesses testify to...they will have to turn it over to prosecution. They may do their best in dragging their feet in providing it, but provide it they must.
As to TM's statement....I'm fairly certain he can say just about anything he wants to trying to argue their motion; although an officer of the court, this was for argument purposes only, and the judge wouldn't be making his decision or relying solely on that one statement.
I will be very surprised if there is a plea....I think the defense has to take this to trial for a variety of reasons, some for legal & strategic reasons; not the least of which is all the PR this will bring to the players involved.
