BINGO!
GOttlieb has an office at the same mall where the Guard works !!!
I knew he had an office there, so I looked for a reference - and found this:
"The accuser viewed the photos at the police substation at Northgate Mall on April 4. Gottlieb told her that she was going to "look at people we had reason to believe attended the party," according to his notes. This differed from the March 16 and 21 lineups, where police gave her specific instructions that the suspect might not be in the lineup: "The person who committed the crime may or may not be included.""

Wonder who Gottlieb's been going to lunch with?
"GOttlieb has an office at the same mall where the Guard works !!!"
Can Gottlieb be put on the stand and asked if he knows the security guard? (Of course they must know each other--the security guard would at least have spoken to the cops there.)
Did they speak about this case?
How recently, and how often?
(I'm sure Gottlieb has about 30 pages of notes which he "remembers" from 3 years ago, and rewrote from his handwritten 2-pages about the shoplifting. . .)
