No. All attorneys, including prosecutors, are governed by the Rules of Professional Conduct, which prevent them from speaking directly to anyone who is already represented by an attorney on the same matter. The defendant should ask his or her attorney to contact the District Attorney’s Office on the defendant’s behalf.
