Thank you for the explanation of how Costello got before the GJ. Bragg must be a truly stupid man to think he could call Costello and somehow limit what he had to say. I’m still mulling over Bragg feeling obligated to call Costello in the first place. Some jurisdictions have an obligation to present exculpatory evidence, but not all do. Maybe New York is one of those jurisdictions, so Bragg truly had no choice.
I think he requested to testify. Just so he could present that 600 pages.
