- Authors
Cassidy, R. Michael
- Abstract
The article discusses U.S. criminal law and the allegedly questionable discovery practices of several government prosecutors as of October 2011, focusing on plea bargaining, legal ethics, and the problems associated with impeachment disclosures following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2002 ruling in the case U.S. v. Ruiz. It states that many prosecutors have been on the defensive about their compliance with disclosure obligations regarding evidence in criminal cases.
