About
Billy Lane assisted Boone's defense as a private investigator. James Owens told the court that Lane or other team members had tried to locate witnesses Boone requested. Owens emphasized that finding and listing those witnesses did not mean he would call them to testify.
During jury selection, the prosecution challenged the timing of records disclosure. It asserted that the records had apparently been sitting in Boone's box and that Lane had acquired them years earlier. That account was the prosecution's position, not a finding about Lane's responsibility for disclosure.
In discussions about Pearl Walker, Owens said he thought Lane had interviewed her and had a summary of her anticipated testimony. Owens said he would provide that summary to the State.
