Brady Blacklists Lack Due Process

Prosecutors nationwide maintain Brady/Giglio 'do‑not‑call' lists of police credibility problems, but in many jurisdictions officers are added on a prosecutor’s say‑so, often without notice, access to the evidence, or a meaningful appeal. The piece documents a Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund survey of 50 large prosecutor offices, examples of state statutes that vary widely, and cases (Fairfax County, Sparks) where officers remain listed despite exoneration. — The practice raises systemic questions about prosecutorial power, fair process for government witnesses, and the integrity of criminal prosecutions because list placements can end policing careers and affect defendants’ rights.
