Okay, but what kind of defense lawyer would fail to look at the police reports in preparing his case? How could the prosecutor have prevented him/her from seeing them?

"How could the prosecutor have prevented him/her from seeing them?"
If you don't know that a supplemental report was prepared, you can't ask for it. I am going to court today to force a Prosecutor to order an police officer to appear (make himelf available) for an interview regarding a simple crimonal matter.
Defense attorneys spend a lot of time trying to enforce discovery rules. Most often it is not the desire of a prosecutor to withhold evidence, rather it is the fact that they are overloaded.
