“key evidence was kept from Kezer’s attorney during the first trial”????? Gee, I thought defense attorneys were supposed to gather their own evidence. Since when is it up to the prosecutor to make a case for the defense? And, who says this “evidence” would have made a difference in the conviction? Our legal system sucks.
I guess you live under a rock. its call discovery and its in every state…and some states have mutual discovery. the prosecutions evidence is turned over to the defense including any evidence that could point to innocence. I guess its a good thing you are not a judge because you are too ignorant to get it.
To further inform the masses, in any criminal or civil process, there is a thing call “discovery,” wherein both sides are required by law to share evidence applicable to the case at hand, to ensure the defendant AND the aggrieved party (The People in criminal matters; the plaintiff in civil) get a fair trial, as the jury or judge can only weigh that evidence as it’s presented in open court. So, the judge in this instance was correct in exoneration of the wrongly-convicted defendant.
