Double‑jeopardy from Brady failures

If prosecutors reveal exculpatory (Brady) evidence only after a jury is sworn, a dismissal can permanently bar retrial under the Double Jeopardy Clause. That transforms an internal management error into a irreversible non‑prosecution in serious cases like murder. The risk scales with weak disclosure controls and training inside DA offices. — It reframes public safety around prosecutorial competence and process design, suggesting audits, training, and real‑time disclosure systems are as crucial as policy stances.
