If the guy is a witness to a crime about to be tried in her court she needs to say so and be prepared to prove it ~ in a different trial.

She has referred to secret testimony (that letter which she did not let the lawyer read) as the basis for her acccusation that he's just a consiglieri ~ and he expressed anger ~ and that's not just because he has an Italian surname.

Hop hop!

Nope, not in another trial. If he can be called as a witness for any reason in this trial he cannot be an advocate.
And the judge has taken the prudent step of ordering an investigation.
Sounds like she’s doing it right.

READ THE ARTICLE!!!!

She doesn't KNOW if he's a witness yet. How can she *prove* something that she doesn't know for sure? She was just letting him know that she knew of correspondence that indicated that he MIGHT be called as a witness.

And just what do you think would have happened if she had not mentioned this now and it came out later that she knew then and didn't say anything. All heck would have broken loose for her not revealing it.

She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.
