Summary
This court transcript from August 10, 2022, details a legal argument between prosecution (Ms. Comey) and defense (Ms. Menninger) counsel. The core issue is whether the defense can introduce evidence related to broader investigative steps, such as a 2019 search, that were not part of the evidence presented to the jury. The prosecution argues this would be confusing and violate a court order, while the defense attempts to justify its relevance.

1 there were thousands of photographs seized, and that there was
2 only obviously a subset that was presented to the jury.
3 MS. MENNINGER: Right. Ms. Meder only was speaking to
4 photographs, your Honor, not to the number of devices.
5 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I would note that that was a
6 situation where we called a witness affirmatively in our case
7 to talk about photographic evidence that was seized; and then
8 the defense properly cross-examined that witness about that
9 evidence.
10 What the defense is now suggesting they should be able
11 to do is bring in a whole host of other investigative steps.
12 There was Mr. Flatley, who testified about extraction from a
13 single hard drive. I believe what Mr. Everdell is talking
14 about is all of the other devices that were seized throughout
15 the course of this investigation. And I think that that would
16 be in violation of the Court's order. It would also be
17 extremely confusing, because when we're talking about this
18 investigation, it's a little ambiguous what we're talking
19 about, as we alluded to earlier. This investigation was
20 broader than just what resulted in these charges.
21 MS. MENNINGER: Well, your Honor, there was a search
22 that the government elicited information about that occurred in
23 2019 of our alleged co-conspirator's home. The question can be
24 phrased because they --
