Of course, not, Hernandez said, pretending not to be troubled by the very developments he was concerned would happen.
Give us a moment to confer, privately, would you? Kolson said.
Sure, Hernandez said. Well be back momentarily.
A few seconds later he and Trembley stepped into the observation room and looked at Missinger huddling quietly with his lawyer.
Were not going to get anything out of this guy, Hernandez said, dispirited. His lawyer is going to advise him not to answer anything of consequence. When we go back in there, hes going to shut down every path we take.
Maybe not, Jessie said, still studying the screen.
What do you mean? Hernandez asked.
This Kolson guy isnt a criminal lawyer. He may be putting on a good show but hes the corporate attorney for Ecofund Investment Partners, Missingers hedge fund.
Does it really matter? Trembley asked. Hes still not going to let us start peppering his client with probing questions.
No, Jessie agreed. But Kolsons legal obligation is ultimately to the fund, not to Missinger personally. If we can get Missinger to believe that his interests and his attorneys arent aligned, maybe hell say something useful.
