A pre-trial hearing for the indicted former in-house counsel from GlaxoSmithKline Plc took some unexpected twists Thursday. Among them: The judge is considering dismissing the indictment (pdf) due to a prosecutor’s grand jury error; the defense said it might ask for a non-jury trial; and the court unsealed a raft of records that reveal the roles of several other lawyers in the alleged misdeed.

Judge Roger Titus of the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Md., released some records that reveal for the first time who the other lawyers were and what role they played.
