SNIPPET: “A federal judge today denied terrorism suspect Mohamed Mohamud’s defense team its request to learn the true identity of a government informant identified as “Bill Smith.””
SNIPPET: “His opinion notes that the government had established a “solid and compelling interest in not disclosing Bill Smith’s true identity. If an appeal becomes necessary, the 9th Circuit can review the sealed transcript.”
“(Smith’s) identity is neither relevant nor helpful to the defense and is not essential to a fair trial,” the judge wrote. “The emails speak for themselves. ... I do not expect the government to produce any additional discovery concerning Bill Smith.””
