"The STATE prosecutorial team intentionally deleted, the data, then delivered a partial file with the non-deleted data, then at the last minute before trial delivered the full data set, but omitted the deleted data from the written report summarizing the entire bin file."
Jencks Act material? I'm not an attorney, but in a federal prosecution, the jury would/should be instructed by the court that the omitted or missing material can be considered as being favorable to the defendant in the case.

Yeah, federally it falls under Jencks I believe also.
I know we call it the prosecution team but it is more like a whole Army verses some defense squad. There perhaps is no other crime going on in Jacksonville where they are all from?
