Haven't read it yet, will keep an open mind, but this feels like strategy. Pound the table with noisy allegations of misconduct, create conspiracy where there isn't one. The new way to do law. Smoke and mirrors. And a magic hat.

Oh yes, going by the news presentation of it for a quick take on it, MOO, I agree with you, it's a strategy to delay again. Still reading the documents that were filed, but my initial impressions are that this seems as though defense is using the DA's office to also further blame the victim, to further dirty Maya's name. Plus, back to the affair might be a way to put doubt that she's even dead, and again try to insinuate she ran off. They're saying there were lies that the affair had ended, defense wants to point out it hadn't. This is their way to further make a big deal out of the affair she had. It's seems a nasty defense tactic using the DA's office to further victim blame. You & I know that, regardless, affairs are not an excuse to murder!
Trying to keep an open mind, but all I see are nasty tactics to get another delay. This seems like a covert way of bad mouthing Maya having had an affair. That's what I heard mentioned in the news video, more of the shaming of the victim, IMO, using the DA's handling as a vehicle. I'm seeing red.
A defense tactic demanding the DA's office of misconduct like you said was not an issue until jury selection time? DA's office being accused of making light of the facts of when the affair ended. Oddly, I just posted links to it last night, and lo and behold-- they will be using the Preliminary Hearing proceedings to try to prove the allegations. IIRCC, Day 8 of the Prelim was one of the days the affair was mentioned in the courtroom.
All MOO, and strictly just my initial impressions.
