Disclosure, Ethics, and the Michael Morton Case: Lessons Learned (Jun 2015)
Examine ethical issues that confront prosecutors and defense counsel with respect to evidentiary disclosure in the context of the prosecution and subsequent exoneration of Michael Morton. Review disclosure-based causes of Morton's wrongful conviction, legislative reforms intended to address those discovery failures, and the adaptation of prosecutors and defense attorneys to those changes—especially in the appellate context.
