"the defendant's right to know his accusers and have evidence presented against him before a trial"
Before trial all the prosecutor has to disclose to the defendant is so called Brady material, that is material that is exculpatory. Here if these two people made a statement to the government that X, not Kopp shot the doctor, the government would have to turn it over to Kopp.
If however, these two gave the government a statement that they saw Kopp shoot the doctor, that statement would not have to be disclosed to Koop, pre trial.

Do you mean a defendant doesnt have any real discovery rights, to ask for all documents related to this or that, for example?
