Bush spent 20 hours on the witness stand. Meanwhile, Piper's lawyer wants prosecutors removed from the case. The judge and lawyers spent Friday and Monday discussing new evidence uncovered by the prosecution. Defense lawyers say the misplaced evidence is ground for a mistrial. Defense lawyer Alfredo Parrish says prosecutors have been withholding evidence including videotape that showed investigators mocking the victim.
Prosecutors deny they withheld the evidence and say there have been some interoffice mix-ups.
Parrish contends the material could have helped him better prepare a defense. The judge has yet to rule on the requests. Defense Attorney Alfredo Parrish claims the prosecution has tried to deliberately undermine his case. Parrish, Piper's attorney, says new information that has surfaced with both the defense and prosecution is a surprise to him. Parrish says the prosecution late Wednesday gave to him interviews of witnesses he had never seen before.
