They probably just found it. I thought they could bring in new evidence if it helps their case. Seems the judge is just saying no because he don't think it'll be relevant. It just worries me. I've seen cases turned over on appeal simply because an attorney didn't find certain evidence in time or a judge didn't let certain evidence in. I thought the goal here was to prevent an appeal. I don't see it helping BH very much because, yes, odds are he was not abused. But you still want to give them a fighting chance to prevent appeals.
IMO.
Maybe they're hoping JM will ask for a delay to investigate this 'new info'. Has the defense made allegations that BH was sexually abused? They threw out there something about physical abuse but JM rebutted that with Hulsey's own letters home.
