Take the following as truth: Neither Tripp's lawyers nor anyone else (even Tripp, though she might obviously remember what was on them--but she was not accessible to the press at this point) could have heard those tapes or briefed reporters about them.
Then the following statement: "Tripp's lawyers couldn't hear the tapes because they were kept in a safe." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
