RE: FW: Discovery ICO U.S. v. Wacker



Doug:

I am very interested on your views on these notes and analysis you have.  These should have been turned in a long time ago. Brady, however, does not require their release.  Brady requires the release of exculpatory material before trial.  It has no effect at the Article 32 stage.  The Rules for Court Martial are for more liberal regarding discovery than any Federal rules or case law.

Gentlemen,

Fascinating how we asked for these notes before the last Art 32 hearing... again before the Art 39(a) hearing... and the Gov't stated that they were not in their possession. WTF?!?! Seriously... did anyone ever ask SA Burge?! If I'm not mistaken, NCIS is a government agency, therefore if he is in possession, the Gov't is in possession.

I've only read the first 10 pages and already see discrepancies between his notes, his typed interview notes, and her sworn statement, as well as her other statements.

Please bring this up to the IO, the fact that the Government did not produce this until 5 April 2010 (or 19 March 2010), three years after the incident, and nearly a year after the first request for such records. I'm ready for the Due Process motion: (Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963),[1] was a United States Supreme Court case in which the prosecution had withheld from the criminal defendant certain evidence. The defendant challenged his conviction, arguing it had been contrary to the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

S/F

Doug

p.s. Sorry, had to vent a little.
