Does a defense counsel's failure to disclose "statements of experts made in connection with the case" constitute a discovery violation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lamb, 136 Cal.App.4th 575, 40 Cal.Rptr.3d 609 (Cal. App. 2006):
Defense counsel failed to disclose the "statements of experts made in connection with the case" as required by the express language of section 1054.3. (See Roland v. Superior Court (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 154, 21 Cal.Rptr.3d 151.) The court properly concluded that this type of gamesmanship constitutes a discovery violation.
