More updates soon, but defense attorney has brought up an issue with the judge. Sergeant Jackson, PSU officer who is the first witness for the State, eavesdropped on the defendant and defense attorney having a private conversation and proceeded to approach the DA to fill him in on what she heard.
Defense attorney is arguing that these actions show bias from the cops and a personal interest in prosecuting the defendant.
Judge said that because they had conversations around the prosecutor and state witness it was not a confidential conversation and there was no violation of attorney client privilege. Judge said defense attorney is only free to ask about it if they believe it has or will influence the officers testimony.
