• A lawyer for the parents of slain travel blogger Gabby Petito has withdrawn his request for the court to order her suspected killer’s lawyer to break attorney-client privilege and testify about what his client told him after her death and before the public knew she was missing.
• The motion would have tested whether privilege exists between a deceased client, who never waived that privilege but who confessed to the crime in a suicide note.
• Pat Reilly, the attorney for Petito’s parents, argued in court filings that the handwritten confession counted as a waiver.
