Definitely something rotten in the State of New Mexico.

Sounds likely that the armorer in the case should have her conviction reversed as well.

Brady violations happen all too often in just about every state even though the case was decided by the Supreme Court in 1963. You heard about it this time b/c it's such a high profile case.
