information and questioned who had or had not been called as a witness.
He ended: “This is not zealotry. This is simple justice.”
• Sunday, May 7, 2006 at 6:45 p.m. – in her response, Europe noted that
Rodriguez had spent two hours with Nobile preparing for his testimony
and planned an additional four to five hours before he took the stand.

to grind” with George. She again asked Nobile “to stop with the emails as
you may jeopardize this case further. Just because you label something as
‘work product’, [sic] doesn’t mean it is.”

zealotry attack. I guarantee that it will boomerang.”
