If the state is holding information because the investigation into the evidence they have is ongoing..such as waiting for results, followup statements, or continuing to have leads come in on such evidence, doesn't this excuse them from turning it over to the defense? Wouldn't their work have to be completed first?
As far as I can tell from the disclosure rules and manual for LE that I linked to earlier in this thread, they would have to turn over certain categories of documents--including statements of witnesses, expert reports, and documents intended to be used at trial--whether or not they were still investigating.
