Prosecutors werent asking him questions and that he would say things that the grand jury would basically hurt the prosecutions case so they didnt ask him questions. I will say them anyway.

I wonder if bragg did that document separately because after costellos testimony he didnt think he would make his story fly with the grand jury. I think thats very possible. Bill
