I was thinking something along the same line as you (in post #31) before I saw your reply.

Only, your post has much better info to work with.

Both of these defenses would be very difficult to pull off though. If this is the lawyer's intent, I'm surprised that he would think the interview would help in that regard. Even if, as you point out, they are attempting to setup one or both of these defenses.

GZ's team really appears to be desperate at this point.

It blows my mind to think that if not for the public outcry, GZ very nearly got away with this.
