I can see the defense *trying* to drag Amazon in t with a discovery motion but I can just as easily see the judge read them chapter and verse of te law as written and throw the motions out, with prejudice.
All the people lining up behind the conspirators seem to have lost sight of the fact that the court is *not* looking for excuses.
All the court wants to see if evidence as to whether they conspired or not.
"It was justifed..." will have the same effect as "Yes, we're guilty..." so they sure as heck not be looking to that as their last line of defense. Those lawyers are going to be raking in a bounty in billable hours so they'd better come up with something better than a disguised guilty plea.

Remember, this is a jury trial, if all parties don't settle first. The "court" don't need evidence. Anything and everything can be discussed in jury deliberations.
