"Thru discovery process pretty much all information has to be shared from one side to the other prior to trial anyway."
Well the DA is certainly going to willingly share any incriminating evidence that he wants to use at trial because the defense can cry "foul" if it's not disclosed during discovery.
The hard part for the defense will be to get the DA to disclose information that argues for innocence since, of course, the DA has no intention to use it at trail. In theory, the DA should willingly turn it over, but in practice they fight it.

That sentiment shows who really cares about the truth eh?
Court has become about who can twist the rules more in order to win. Justice is not served by this action and everything that can be done to expose that should be done.
I, for one, hope that Gretta hammers this everyday until they fess up with the facts.

As far as I know, the DA must turn over whatever came up in his investigations, no matter which side it benefits.
