"t just doesn't stop does it? Doesn't this contradict the defence theory that it was a drug overdose?"

That's exactly what the local d.a. is saying. One thing I do agree with is that it was certainly odd that the feds sent the info to the defense but didn't notify the local d.a. That's not how we played the game when I was an Assistant U. S. Attorney. Smells bad. Of course, this whole thing has smelled bad.
