23 Q. (By Chief Beckner) Would you be 24 willing to sign releases to allow us to 25 interview Ellis Armistead and David Williams? 1 MR. WOOD: I think we talked 2 about that, and I think that is something I 3 would address. 4 MR. LEVIN: I have proposed 5 written releases for both Patsy and John, and 6 when we leave this afternoon, I will leave 7 them with you and give you an opportunity to 8 look. It refers to the Colorado statute, so 9 you can have some time to look them over. 10 You can call me directly if you want to talk 11 about it. 12 MR. WOOD: Okay. Did you all 13 make a decision about whether you wanted to 14 talk with Ed Gelb, Cleve Baxter? I offered 15 them up for interviews with you, no holds 16 barred, waive the privilege. 17 CHIEF BECKNER: We may at some 18 time. 19 MR. WOOD: They talked to John 20 and Patsy. They interviewed them. So if 21 you will give me those, I will certainly -- 22 MR. LEVIN: I will leave them 23 with you. 24 MR. WOOD: My concern, Bruce, and 25 obviously there are no secrets there, your 1 intentions, your being the prosecution's 2 intentions, are not clear to us. Obviously, 3 as an attorney, we have to always be 4 prepared for the worst case scenario. We 5 don't think it is likely or something that 6 should happen. So there is that balancing 7 of trying to get you information from Ellis 8 and David Williams that can help with the 9 investigation but yet still maintain certain 10 information that might be important in any 11 potential defense of the case. 12 MR. LEVIN: I understand. 13 CHIEF BECKNER: Anybody have 14 anything else? 15 MR. LEVIN: I do not. About at the end - - and the prosecution clearly is not interested in asking Patsy about intruder suspects or their investigation in those areas - but they would like to interrogate the Ramsey lawyers and investigators - - - care to guess what the focus would be? I think it is good that K&C no longer have any part in this investigation. The DA has the case and a special investigator and his team are working on it. I admit to being anxious - - hard to be patient - but they are being methodical, following all leads and some cold trails and old memories... Still, be patient - the handwriting will match SP's historical samples - - and the DNA evidence will never change. That and other evidence can nail the right guy.
