2.Discuss the following case, using an analysis of protected attorney-client statements:

People v. Mitchell, 448 N.Y.S 2d 332 (1982)

Defendant John Mitchell was indicted for killing for stabling his girlfriend.Attorney Lapine was representing him in that case.While awaiting trail for that killing, on a different day, a woman was found dead, stabbed 11 times. Mitchell went to Lapine's office the day after this second woman was killed and was told Lapine wasn't in.He told the legal secretary at the reception desk that "he had been out drinking, met a girl, and when he woke up, she was dead." Another secretary entered the waiting room and Mitchell muttered something about a knife to her.A paralegal entered the room, she spoke to Mitchell, asked him what was wrong, and he told her "there is a dead body and he felt that he had done it and that the person was dead because she was stabbed and that he did it."

The prosecutor subpoenaed the secretaries and the paralegal to testify in court about these conversations. Lapine raised attorney- client privilege as a defense.Do you think the court will require the testimony?
