Well the defense did have discovery and could have and should have argued away whatever they foresaw as a problem during the pre trial motions/hearings. I do believe they had those didn't they? I just never understand how it works when the defense basically tries and a lot of time succeeds, to argue away anything that makes their client look guilty, which is kind of the reason why there is a trial IMO. After all the hard work investigating, the defense gets evidence thrown out over human error or things that negatively portray their client. I'll never understand how that's a "fair" trial. It's only fair for the accused...not the victim.
MOO
