Question

Hi,

Could you please tell me what is the meanings of "characterization" and "is still privileged" in the following text?

The judge sighed, "Mr. Facher, do you wish to reveal this material to Mr. Schlichtmann at this moment?"

"I don't want to prolong this, the characterization that it's highly speciific and direct evidence is his characterization"-Facher indicated Chesseman"-- and not mine. We received certain communications, we said this is the information we received, here it is. we did nothing about it. I don't have any particular problem if Mr. Chesseman wants to tell Mr.Schlichtmann, although technically, I guess, it still is privileged because it came from a client and we're engaged in a joint defense.

Thanks in advance
