Commentators can't get the wiretap thing straight. Some talking heads say that Amber's tapes are part of the wiretap evidence, the former prosecutor on MSNBC says that her tapes with SP are not "wiretap" evidence. MSNBC guy thinks the Amber tapes will come in, others say the prosecution has elected to forego them in the prelim.

I saw Lester Holt mistakenly say that the wiretaps and GPS had been excluded and "isn't that a victory for the Defense?" The reporter corrected him and said that the State simply chose not to use it at the pre-lim.

I think they're trying to avoid that Franks issue--regarding accusations that police lied in their affidavits--until after the prelim. In order for them to introduce any wiretaps now, the Franks issue would have to be resolved.

But the conversations btw Scott and Amber which are also wiretapped conversations are sort of a special case. I don't see why Amber couldn't relate some of those conversations based simply on her having participated and heard it all herself--w/o reference to any wiretaps.
