Understood, but the state essentially promised the judge, for what that is worth.
Separately, have you ever encountered the writings at amyirenewhite.wordpress.com? Could be mostly noise, could be a pack of fabrications, or could be good (but not proved) evidence. Watch for the name "Jason Matthew Barnum."
Depending on the charges they cook up, that may or may not be relevant. If any Bandito fired a fatal shot, they may charge them all with murder. So he may need to be able to put up evidence that none of the shots came from a Bandito gun.
Interesting heads up. Thanks.
