Associated Press: Naval Academy sexual assault case: Footage sought
The AP reports:
Lawyers for CBS and CNN told a military judge on Tuesday that they shouldn’t have to turn over unaired portions of interviews the networks conducted with a woman at the center of a sexual assault case that involved three U.S. Naval Academy football players.
Attorneys for the one former player currently facing charges in the case want the footage, arguing it is relevant to preparation for his trial, which is scheduled for March. But lawyers for the two networks argued in court briefs and at Tuesday’s hearing at the Washington Navy Yard that the footage is irrelevant and duplicates already available material.
