I believe Canadian Outrage is referring to this hearing:
http://www.modbee.com/local/story/7311242p-8235908c.html "Distaso also noted in the filing that prosecutors are requesting information from the defense, including the names and addresses of potential witnesses and any real evidence the defense intends to offer at the preliminary hearing, set for Sept. 9.
At a DEFENSE REQUEST (my emphasis), a hearing on evidentiary issues is scheduled for Sept. 2."
Thanks vel. I just tried to explain that to Howlin from memory!!
