The Special Master, often a judge, is someone who would maintain the integrity of the evidence chain of custody and control, while not subjecting the defense members to direct observation by LE. Not in and of itself an unreasonable request for certain types of evidence. Especially if it is just for 2 days.
BUT
I predict HHJP is going to go b@tsh@t on the defense over this sudden "emergency" motion, with insufficient time for the SA to even properly generate a response. What exactly is the reason this needs an emergency determination? Why was it not included with other more normal motions and proceedings?
If I understand this right, from watching the local news, the defense "Is flying in experts from all over the world in a few days to look at this evidence."
Ummm, so they just realized that LE would be watching? WTH????
