For instance the defense cannot, in a Federal trial, bring up anything that the Federal prosecution has not brought up, which includes exculpatory evidence.

We have 3rd generation welfare slugs who go to jail for 5 years after killing someone yet the AG was threatening 30+ years for this man who was a major contributor. That's a lot of moral relativity, isn't it.
