Notable Quotes 3
We cannot agree to these redactions, and think it would be appropriate for you to file a motion before Judge Torres, under seal and copying the Government (but ex parte as to the defense).
Our client is not a witness, and so this is not 3500 material, nor is it Rule 16 material. We do not believe that this is in fact Brady material, but rather is an error made by our client that we understand is contradicted by the surveillance video evidence.
While we applaud your efforts, we have an obligation to make sure that our client is not harmed by the possible release of the fact that he met with your Office.
