I still think the defense should demand all copies of the report file and access to the machine(s) on which Gottlieb typed this document. Is this possible? Can they impugn the basis of a police report by showing that it was fabricated. For example, if the file was clean, i.e., no edits, no earlier versions, no multiple modifications and none were visible on the computer, etc., then there is is a strong argument that this report was totally fabricated.
Is Gottlieb's report a sworn statement?
