Witnesses who are thugs
samedi 31 août 2019 à 02:00California prosecutors now have permission to inform defense lawyers when a witness that is a thug has some characteristic that leads to suspicion perse might give false testimony.
This doesn't assure that they will inform defense lawyers.
The mere fact that the witness is a thug is, in itself, reason for such suspicion. The defense lawyers already know that. Alas, most jurors won't believe it.
