The disclosure rules require the prosecutor to turn over any evidence which is exculpatory or has impeachment value. The fact that a judge might exclude its admission at trial is not an exception to the disclosure rules. It is simply not Nifong's call to make.

I agree, but considerartion of the rape shield law is liefong's figleaf. And this guy has shown he can make a whole suit out of a figleaf.

Anyway, now he can claim that while the law "might be unclear" with respect to the rape shield law, since the information has been turned over well before the trial, no harm.
