HBO Coverage Bugs Brannon Camp

“I was disappointed that my cover letter would appear in the media, almost before the ink was dry. I certainly have no problem with the contents of the letter being provided to the media, because I stand behind everything that was stated in it. … It is my belief that an open and candid discussion between counsel could be of value. I offered this meeting, not out of a concern for any weakness, or as a show of strength, of the complaint. It was offered because I thought that such a meeting might be viewed as productive for all. Perhaps it was a novel, or naive, thought that counsel might discuss a mtter before running off to the media and formal court proceedings. … Mr. Gridley advised that he was unaware how my letter came to be released to the Spokesman-Review’s Huckleberries blog”/ Starr Kelso (pictured), attorney for Jim Brannon’s attempt to overthrow the 2009 Coeur d’Alene city elections. Entire letter here .

Question: Would you prefer that I respect the sensitivity of the attorneys involved in this case? Or give you the developing news as it crosses my desk at Huckleberries Online?
