Can one of you smart lawyerly types give me a layman's explanation of Giglio?
I googled it, but explanations were a bit difficult to understand.
Here was one use I have come across (in addition to the docket):

Vol 10, p.8
3 However, the Government was extremely rigorous in
4 their Giglio obligation with regard to Rene Sanchez and had not
5 only his local Willcox, Arizona, personnel file checked, but
6 his file at the Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, D.C.,
7 and there was absolutely no Giglio. So I would also like to
8 provide a copy of that memo to the Court, just for future
9 preparation.

Hey, I'm a civil trial lawyer. "Giglio" means nothing to me. I'll keep that in mind as I read the transcript, though.

Giglio appears to be a case that has to do with disclosure of impeachment materials. Look here, Iwo Jima, do you mind telling what state you are in?
