Most remarkably, however, Mr. Auchincloss threatens the defense in the second full paragraph of page 6. He says, in essence, that, if we attempt to impeach Mr. Sneddon or if we even comment on the prosecution's motivation, he will release "everything [Mr. Sneddon] knows about the defendant." (pg 9)

The fact is that Mr. Sneddon did get personally involved in this case. He went to a defense investigator's office and took pictures. He personally interviewed _________ and showed her key photographs. He took possession of evidence. He arranged for Mrs. ________ to obtain money. He interviewed her without an officer present. This was in addition to him personally going to Mr. Jackson's residence on at least four occasions to conduct searches, to traveling to Australia to try to get a witness to testify against Mr. Jackson, to holding press conferences and making inappropriate remarks, to having a standing request on his website for people to testify against Mr. Jackson. Mr. Sneddon made himself a witness -- particularly as to what ________ said and did at the interview with her. It was a key interview because [redacted]. He is subject to being impeached for bias, just like anyone else. (pg 8)

Mr. Auchincloss' litany of things he will do so that "[t]he defense does not want to go there"' are clearly inadmissible and bullying.
