““The encounter occurred * * * when the witness reported to the Frank Licht Judicial Complex pursuant to a subpoena from the Office of the Attorney General. He reported to the Attorney General’s office on the second floor of the Licht Complex and then went for a walk upstairs to the third floor. Pailin testified that he was waiting outside courtroom 12M on the third floor when the witness approached him and said, ‘How you doing, Stephen.’ Pailin did not respond * * *. A few minutes later the prosecutor arrived on the scene and conversed with the witness, and they both returned to the Attorney General’s Office.” Id. at 1388-89 .”
