Federal Prosecutors Discussed 'Burying' Evidence In Troubled New York Case

A judge is assessing a case there after prosecutors admitted missteps, although they said with no malice intended.

Prosecutors now say the document was not, in fact,"buried" because they turned it over less than 24 hours after the email discussion.Their July 2 letter said the prosecutor who wrote the email was"endlessly chagrined about this chat" and added that"we believe it would go too far to condemn her for a Friday night lapse in thinking regarding a document that was in fact disclosed Saturday afternoon.

Squabbles over turning over documents, known as discovery, are common in federal criminal cases. But it's rare for a judge to demand that the government identify lawyers and supervisors involved in evidence-sharing lapses. Aside from the discussion of whether to"bury" a government exhibit, Sadr's lawyers said the prosecution team had engaged in even more"egregious wrongdoing" by misrepresenting a search of emails before the March 2020 trial began.The entire case started with an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney, who subpoenaed Sadr's emails as part of a state-run probe. Later, the D.A.'s office passed them to the FBI.

Disbar and charge any prosecutor who does this.

The rot starts from the top at Barr’s TheJusticeDept

hahaha now do GenFlynn

I’m a lawyer - they should be disbarred.

Is this SDNY? Where Trump fired the Attorney in charge of this?

Not news to POC and poor people. I imagine most of white America will be shocked 😲.

What?! The court system isn’t fair!? I am SHOCKED /s

What the hell?!!

Put em in jail. Teach em a lesson

Curious why NPR never paid this much attention to the General Flynn case, where prosecutors held back exculpatory evidence from the defense for years...and STILL appears to be doing so.

What? You mean prosecutors want a conviction or plea deal even if they have evidence that exonerates the defendants. Prosecuters record is that important huh? Talk about below the law.

the RuleofLaw is dead. Yes, lawyers can be Fascists too .WordForTheDay Fascism TrumpFascism

Like the entire Mueller investigation and all related prosecutions? How much exculpatory and “evidence” did they create, hide, edit to get perjury charges....

I don't even recognize this country anymore.

End taxpayer funding for NPR

I am so glad NPR is interested in justice....now do the DOJ and FBI under Obama....

WOW
