Seeking Justice For The Innocent

National Uniform Disclosure Standards

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) introduced a bi-partisan bill to help standardize disclosure laws throughout the country. Right now there are 96 different policies when it comes to this vital issue. In her bill, S 2197 federal prosecutors would have to make early disclosure of favorable evidence regardless of whether the evidence is seen as material to the case. Judges would have a broad range of remedies of enforcement, including postponing or adjourning the proceedings, excluding or limiting testimony or evidence, ordering a new trial, or dismissing the case with or without prejudice. Unfortunately this bill may not pass without your support. Contact your senator and ask them to help pass this bill.
