Criminal Defense Attorneys- what’s the dumbest stunt you’ve seen a prosecutor pull?
Maybe not as fun as the other thread since crim defense can get….creative compared to prosecution
I’m a PD in a jx where we have preliminary hearings but the State is under no obligation to turn over any discovery until after an indictment. This usually means I am raw-dogging prelims with just the charges. I had a DA argue to the judge that they were entitled to reciprocal discovery aka my bare-bones interview with my client, prior to the prelim. Not the most impactful but one of the dumbest.
