I think the biggest "mystery" about this motion is NOT the "WHO" (is being investigated) but more of the "WHY" is SA requesting that the defense NOT be present!
To date, there have been no allegations (apart from a few bloggers) that the prosecution has operated in an underhanded method, has purposely withheld or hidden evidence from the defense, has "leaked" information to the media, or any other unsavory behavior. They have shown to be very experienced, dotting every I, crossing every T.
Filed with this motion was a motion for discovery schedule, etc and in this proposal, which I believe JS will grant since it was he who requested that the SA and defense meet and set up a schedule, all discovery is to be exchanged at the earliest by August.
SO....
If SA is still investigating this "new material and information" and are not required to pass the info to the defense until the investigation is complete, and if granted, have until at least August 2010 to do so, why are they wanting to go before JS to ask his permission?????? And why do they not want the defense to witness this? Makes absolutely no sense that SA has now decided to be sneaky and underhanded...
IF this "new material and information" is related to only DC, CA/GA, Lee, or any other witness, why would SA be opposed to the defense hearing the following...
"JS....we have recently received new material and information from LE that we believe is very important to the case and warrants further investigation. We would like your permission to refrain from releasing this information to the defense until it is fully investigated." If pushed, why couldn't the defense hear..."We are currently investigating DC (or GA/CA/Lee)..."
I just don't get why SA would find it so important that defense team not be privy to this conversation (re: stating "who" they are investigating but not the "why")
HOWEVER...
If the conversation were similar to the following....
"JS....we have recently received new material and information from LE that we believe is very important to the case and warrants further investigation. We would like your permission to refrain from releasing this information to the defense until it is fully investigated. We have evidence that the defense team has (or may have) been involved in impeding the investigation into the recovery of Caylee's remains and would like your opinion on how to proceed."
Now I CAN understand why they would not want the defense privy to this conversation....
So again...question to me is not the "WHO" but the "WHY"
