Recent events in Las Vegas have led to a completely new perspective on the misdeeds of government. Failure to provide timely Discovery, especially that of an exculpatory evidence (proving innocence or to impeach witness testimony).
As Judge Gloria Navarro pointed out in the seven known violations, six of them were deemed “willful”, where the seventh could possibly be inadvertent. However, in the closed session that followed the declaration of a Mistrial, there may have been as many as 20 more violations of either Brady or Giglio. Those cases establish precedence with regard to the timely disclosure of evidence to the Defense.
Before we proceed, perhaps reviews of the timeline of primary events in this case are necessary:
- The events that are addressed in the Indictment occurred in the first half of April 2014.
- The initial Indictment was February 3, 2016.
- The Superseding Indictment was issued March 2, 2016.
- The current trial, now on hold pending a decision with regard to Mistrial or Dismissal, began in late November 2017.
The Government’s Response to recent motions by Ryan Payne, suggesting Dismissal, and Ryan Bundy, demanding Dismissal, begins as follows:
“As with any large case, this multi-agency, multi-defendant, multi-trial case has presented significant discovery challenges: hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, hundreds of hours of video and audio recordings, and thousands of emails, to name a few, balanced against factors such as witness security and disclosure procedures acceptable to the Court. This complexity notwithstanding, and ever mindful of its Constitutional, statutory, Department, and Court-ordered discovery obligations, the government has always strived to meet these challenges with diligence, fairness, and efficiency.
First, let’s put a little perspective on timing. It was 23 months from the event (1) that led to the Superseding Indictment (3). It was another 14 months to the commencement of the trial (4). That is 37 months, or, 3 years and 1 month. However, they had the initial Indictment (2) and then modified it to the Superseding Indictment (3), in a month. You would think that in those 23 months, they would have reviewed the records that they had to assure that they were truthful in what the presented to the Grand Jury, for both the initial Indictment and the Superseding Indictment.
And, most assuredly, they would not have accused the Bundy supporters of lying to the public about calling people to come to the Ranch because the government had snipers and posed a threat to the Bundys, knowing full well that they did have snipers and an FBI SWAT team in place, three days before Ryan Payne arrived at the Ranch.
The continued to lie, through the first two trial and into the current trial, claiming that there were no snipers however, the conspired to “wash” some documents of record by having a more senior FBI Special Agent, who is also the FBI agent that is assisting the US Attorney in the current trial. See The Bundy Affair #24 – FBI and Prosecution Conspire to Falsify Evidence.
Next, let’s consider the government’s explanation that no harm was done by not providing the information required by both law and the Rules of the Court. From the last paragraph, page 7/55
