I wonder who will prevail in the end?

[muawiyah]

Someone on trial has the constitutional right to compel witnesses. The "posties" will fight it and their reporter will have to go to jail for contempt.

What it is ~ "posties" don't care for justice ~ not just "about justice", "for justice". Their owners, editors, reporters and circulation personnel would just as soon this guy be tossed into a dungeon for life.

The judge should make sure this female reporter gets to mix with the general population in the jail. I'm sure she'd be real popular when it comes out that she's hiding information that might free a prisoner.

Presumption of innocence will prevail....

Discovery is important... and if these materials are not given to the defense... they will have grounds for dismissal...

Perp will likely go free unless the press cooperates...

O.S.I. don't play.

>> They argued that the airman's defense counsel were looking for unpublished material in Moffeit's files that might exonerate Monroe or cast doubt on the prosecution's case. <<

Heaven forbid there might be something in those notes that would exonerate the Airman.
