Update: State’s secret information no longer needs to be secret

Ongoing Investigation or Protection of new Witness?

Posted on February 25th, 2010 by Valhall

On February 3, 2010 Jeff Ashton, on behalf of the State of Florida, filed a motion requesting an incamera ex parte hearing with Judge Strickland concerning evidence they wanted permission to delay releasing. This request boils down to: the prosecution was asking to speak to the Judge, without defense counsel present, and under sealed transcript, so they could prove to the Judge there was a valid reason why they should be allowed to NOT give the discovery to the defense team as required under Florida criminal procedure rules.

Ultimately Judge Strickland ruled that the prosecution could not have their hearing, BUT could submit via sealed motion to him detailing their reason for requesting the delay in release. Judge Strickland apparently has received and reviewed that motion and ruled yesterday that the release of the discovery may be delayed for 30 days with the option for prosecution to submit via sealed motion for extension if they can still prove just cause.

Now, when the prosecution filed the original request for an incamera, ex parte hearing they stated unequivocally that what they are requesting a delay on DOES fall under the Florida criminal procedure rules for discovery. That means the moment they obtained the discovery they had 15 days to let the defense know of the new discovery and to “inspect, copy, test, and photograph” the information if it is “in the possession or control” of the state. This applies if it was new physical evidence discovered, the name of a new witness, or information provided by an informant.

So let’s see if we can apply some critical thinking and weed the chaff from the grain on what this could be.

Now...wrap your head around that and come up with all the possible scenarios...could it be that someone has slipped, and let the cat out of the bag??? In that case it certainly could resort to bodily harm for the person involved...I don't put much past the A's...I wonder if Lee is involved in this??? Or it could be something involving Bozo Inc...This certainly has one guessing...Have a few more theories floating around in my brain, but have to sort them out...right now, all I can say is

Too many invisible men!!! Laying low seems to be the game...Let's just hope it's not a snake in the grass...
