"Are they required to present those?"
Under the Rules of Criminal Procedure, the prosecution is to provide any excuplatory evidence in a case. Remember, he was innocent until proven guilty and it would seem that there was evidence showing just that. See Rules of Criminal Procedure 15.1 (This is the Arizona Rule but I suspect most states use the same standards).

Thanks! (I have Criminal Procedure I scheduled for next semester, but I may have to drop it for scheduling some work hours in.)
