Notable Quotes 2
We are unable to meaningfully review the evidence without the benefit of our laptops and other electronic devices which are needed to take notes of our review.
Can you please explain why 2,100 + 7 "highly confidential" images have not been shared with us yet? It was our understanding that you previously provided all "highly confidential" images to our client — and to defense counsel — for review at the MDC in November. We are confused about where these previously undisclosed items were located and why they have not yet been made available for inspection and review.
