OSWEGO, N.Y. -- Gary Thibodeau's attorney, Lisa Peebles, said for her, the surprises began before entering the courtroom.

She said when the prosecution contacted her defense team on Friday to drop off documents, she expected a requested search report. Instead, they got 2,600 pages worth of information.

"When he came back with that box, my jaw dropped. My jaw dropped. I was dumped on on Friday. It was completely calculated for me to request an adjournment of this case," said Federal Public Defender Lisa Peebles.

Then on Tuesday, Peebles said the prosecution offered to let defense look through boxes of evidence the sheriff's office has on the Heidi Allen case.

District Attorney Gregory Oakes said insinuations have been made about a cover-up by his and the sheriff's office and he wanted to be as transparent as possible.

"My goal as a prosecutor is to get to the truth the best that can be determined.  I was not in office 20 years ago. I have no vested interest in the conviction of Gary Thibodeau," said Oakes.

Peebles initially agreed to the offer, then decided it would be too time-consuming and she didn't want to adjourn the case.

"I feel like he attempts to manipulate me into agreements because he tells me he's going to do the right thing. He won't do anything unless I provide him with DNA evidence, and that's not going to happen, because what we're learning through these witnesses is that her remains have been shipped to Canada," said Peebles.

Before testimony began, there was also discussion of possible witness testimony that could be considered hearsay.

Oakes said Tonya Priest, the woman whose statements may point to Thibodeau's innocence, talked to authorities again Tuesday.

He said she added a witness to her story about James Steen's alleged admission to his involvement in Allen's disappearance, and said Roger Breckenridge and Michael Bohrer made similar statements to her.

He said both points are new additions to her story.

"These changing stories, quite frankly, are the reason we didn't believe she was reliable…It's the reason we're not calling her as a witness. Those changing stories may very well be the reason why the defense is no longer willing to call her as a witness, either," said Oakes.
