Cancel this ‘Brady’ bunch

If there is a misleading, defining term such as a “Brady list,” then surely it could, and should be, referred to as “The Brady Bunch”! The bunch would of necessity include every prosecutor or defense attorney that ever entered any courtroom in this country.

Credibility issues? Within the legal and law enforcement community? Surely somebody is pulling somebody’s leg.

Is credibility a question when an attorney omits or fails to disclose a fact of a case, or a question or the law? Does this cast the attorney in a questionable light? Certainly not. That is why one practices law. Truth and facts do not necessarily assure justice.

To have attorneys oversee an assigned list of “credible officers” conveys the idea that these attorneys in fact are above reproach.

Who is kidding who?
