I’ve asked this in other threads but never got a good answer so I’ll ask again:
I thought in discovery the defense is only allowed to subpeona materials that could lead to evidence in their defense.
They are being sued for illegally audio recording the plaintiffs without their knowledge or consent. That’s all they are being charged with—not slander, false accusation, etc. So what would be allowed to be subpeonaed in discovery? How would ACORN’s records of misdeeds lead to evidence that they did not record them without their consent?
I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to me that none of ACORN’s crimes will ever be revealed in the discovery phase of this trial. And I don’t see how the reporters can prove that they didn’t record audio without the employees’ knowledge.
Any lawyers out there, or anyoneone who truly has knowledge and/or experience with the law please answer.
