“As John Doe probe is halted, legal maneuvering continues”

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

The investigation into conservative groups and Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign may be halted, but the legal machinations surrounding it appear far from over.

In the latest development, attorneys who beat back the probe are seeking to have a third party oversee prosecutors as they return evidence they gathered during the investigation. Their request to the state Supreme court would also affect the treatment of material gathered in an earlier investigation that resulted in six convictions, according to the judge who oversaw that first investigation.

Details are sketchy because the high court has sealed the filings until it determines whether they can be released.
