- Title
Brady Obligations, Criminal Sanctions, and Solutions in a New Era of Scrutiny.
- Abstract
The article examines the federal and state remedies by the government in the U.S. to combat prosecutorial failure to disclose evidence. It presents two cases to illustrate that prosecutors can wield an incredible amount of control over the civil liberties of their fellow citizens by withholding evidence. Based on the examination, disclosure violations continue to occur at high rates at both the federal and state levels. The author suggests the essential of open-file policies during the pretrial period to combat failures to disclose.
