Welcome back. It's time for a case brief, keeping you in the loop with the cases you care about most,

just more briefly. If you want the full coverage, it's linked in the description below. But for now,

let's get into it. Let's talk a little bit about what we're going to court in. It is a homicide prosecution.

The defense attorney that we will see in court is the defense attorney for Miles King.

still obligated to turn it over. Like just because the discovery deadline is passed, if you receive

something new, you still give it to the other side. It's not like discovery ends. New things

mean new disclosures. It doesn't mean turn it over whenever you want to.

That's not what it means.

And it seems that everybody's been rolling with,

Part of the fault I find in this is not just the district attorney's office for not doing their job. It is ultimately the district attorney's responsibility. And if law enforcement is not giving things to the district attorney, it is the district attorney's job to escalate it. If it needs to be escalated to the court, you go to the court and then you say, I need a court
