MINUTES: Pursuant to the Due Process Protections Act, the Court confirms the United States’ obligation to disclose
to the defendant all exculpatory evidence- that is, evidence that favors the defendant or casts doubt on the United
States’ case,
as required by Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and its progeny, and ORDERS the United
States to do so.
The government has a duty to disclose any evidence that goes to negating the defendant’s guilt,
the credibility of a witness, or that would reduce a potential sentence.
The defendant is entitled to this information
without a request.
Failure to disclose exculpatory evidence in a timely manner may result in consequences,
including, but not limited to, exclusion of evidence, adverse jury instructions, dismissal of charges, contempt
proceedings, disciplinary action, or sanctions by the Court.
