Terrence Bradley says he’s concerned about losing his law license if he testifies about his former client, Nathan Wade. Bradley says the State Bar of Georgia told him that “any communications” he had with Wade could be covered by attorney-client privilege.
Merchant says Bradley can testify about his knowledge of Wade outside the divorce, such as what Bradley observed as Wade’s law partner. She says Wade waived certain attorney-client privilege when he acknowledged his relationship with Willis in court filings.
The judge says he thinks Bradley’s understanding of privilege could be too broad.
Abbate, from the district attorney’s office, says Bradley has already told the court that he has no independent knowledge about the information Merchant seeks.
With the issue in dispute, Bradley’s testimony has been paused while the court hears from a friend of Willis, Robin Yeartie, who is testifying via Zoom.
