Attorneys for both Gardner and Fernandez said Melissa Nelson’s office should be booted from the case after privileged communications, including emails and text messages, were incorrectly shared with the prosecution. They argued that this was a violation of Gardner and Fernandez’ constitutional rights.
The State Attorney’s Office has admitted it intercepted private communications through a search warrant, but the prosecutors said they never read them. So, they argue the couple’s attorney-client privilege was not violated.“Overall, what this court has heard over the days of these evidentiary hearings, is that the state engaged, and by state, I mean their team including the ATF and the Jacksonville Beach Police Department, engaged in reckless and grossly negligent conduct.
Assistant State Attorney, Alan Mizrahi, fired back, saying the defense’s calls to remove the state attorney’s office put an undue burden on citizens. “People, the citizens of this jurisdiction have elected Melissa Nelson to be their state attorney to prosecute these cases. Removing her is obviously the court has the power to do it, but has to be very cautious. In the judicial branch affecting the executive branch and the legislative branch,” Mizrahi said. ”Ms. Stifler has worked thousands of hours on this case. No one could ever replace the amount of work that she has put into this case.
