Chansley’s lawyers didn’t have access to these tapes.
This is the most shocking thing to me as well. Unbelievable and I don’t see how an appellate court could go along with this without upending many decades of ironclad precedent (Brady).
Of course, it’s not just Chansley’s lawyers, but none of the other defendants and their lawyers had access to exculpatory information. That denial of access is counter to legal precedent and ripe for sanctions against all who participated in limiting the access or ignoring their obligation to provide such to defendants. That will include judges, for certain, as well.
