“Prosecutors benefit from existing rules. By closely guarding access to evidence & keeping accused people from effectively preparing their cases, they maintain substantial advantage in courts. They claim new rules will endanger witnesses & crime victims. This fear is unfounded.”
“The right to understand the accusation & to confront one’s accusers means little if that right is withheld until trial or withheld altogether bc that disadvantage resulted in a plea. Fortunately, NY has opportunity to fix this unfair aspect of the system.”Justiceisblindfolded.com
