Law.com here carries a Legal Times piece by Mike Scarcella and Joe Palazollo on the series of errors that dogged the Stevens prosecution team. According to the story, Public Integrity’s Deputy Chief Brenda Morris wasn’t assigned to the case until days before the indictment. Though the article fails to mention it, this presumably means that Morris did not participate in the April 15, 2008, interview with Bill Allen and may not have ever known about it.
Most commentators are assuming that Judge Sullivan will quickly grant the Government’s Motion to Set Aside and Dismiss, but Sullivan could wait awhile in order to fully satisfy himself concerning the Government’s conduct in the case and to better exert the Court’s own disciplinary authority. It may be harder for him to do this as a practical matter if he immediately grants the Motion to Set Aside and Dismiss.
