determined that prosecutors withheld information that would have been beneficial to the defense.
I will never understand why Judges allow “Government Lawyers” to LIE IN COURT AND TO THEIR FACE without ANY PUNISHMENT.
Do they give the same leeway to Private Attorneys??
If it was me I would have LOCKED UP THE PROSECUTOR for Contempt, Filed a Formal Report to the State Bar Association and fined him as Heavily as the Law Allows.
I was in court one time when the judge caught an attorney in a lie. The judge chewed him out but didn't hold him in contempt. But within 2 months, the attorney had left his law firm and left town. I don't recall seeing him in court again after that - his partners carried the load after that.
They do if the judges and lawyers are friends or campaign donors to the judges.
