Elsie Law's Daily Dose Of The Law

"Exculpatory evidence is evidence that points toward a defendant's innocence. Prosecutors are required to automatically hand over such evidence to the defense, even if the defense doesn't request it, and showing that the rule was violated can sometimes result in a conviction being reversed." -From, "The Criminal Law Handbook" By: Bergman & Berman-Barrett
