Is AZ handling their death penalty wrong?
Arizona Loose With Its Rules in Executions, Records Show ("That improvisation is not unusual for Arizona, where corrections officials and medical staff members routinely deviate from the state's written rules for conducting executions, state records and court filings show.

What Materials About Police Misconduct Must the Prosecutor Give to the Defense?
DUTY OF PROSECUTOR TO REVIEW POLICE PERSONNEL FILES FOR BRADY MATERIAL
What duty does the DA have to review police officer personnel files for Brady (373 US 83) material? The C/A says that the DA must conduct such a review. If the DA finds Brady material, the DA must make a Pitchess motion in order to obtain a court order disclosing that material to the defense.
