Disclosure/Production of the Coca-Cola Trade Secrets in the Criminal Matter?

We've exhaustively covered the Coca-Cola trade secrets matter that the DOJ has commenced. Two defendants have pleaded guilty. The former Coca-Cola employee, Joya Williams, has not. Her attorney is now asking for production of some 4000 pages of so-called "trade secret" documents Ms. Williams is accused of having stolen. The government (and, behind the scenes, presumably Coke too) is objecting. This demand will put particular pressure on the prosecution and is designed to do so.

We'll keep you posted on developments.
