I'm not sure what should be deemed the cart and what should be deemed the horse here.

TW, you have Fleet poisoning ST while many would see it the other way around. I believe ST never did understand the role of the DA's office (to advise in legal terms how to bring the case to trial). He interpreted everything they did as standing in the way of slamming that jail cell door on Patsy Ramsey. Reading these depos helps us see how "dense" he really was and how little he needed to theorize and jump to conclusions and how little "checking" into the parts of that theory he did.

I see it as ST poisoning Fleet with regard to DA Hunter (and in the process, the Ramsey-White friendship), not the other way around.
