The discovery law reforms enacted in 2019 are a vital safeguard against wrongful convictions and must be vigorously defended. Any attempts to undermine these measures that promote transparency and due process would be a severe injustice. The timely disclosure of evidence is a fundamental constitutional right, not a mere formality to be cast aside. These reforms hold the judicial system accountable and ensure defendants can properly prepare their defense, protecting the most vulnerable from a biased process stacked against them. Dismissing cases due to prosecutors failing to meet their legal obligations exposes systemic flaws that demand comprehensive solutions - not a return to opaque practices rife with abuse of power. I urge you to stand firm against any erosion of these crucial discovery reforms that uphold civil liberties and equal justice under the law. Safeguarding these reforms is essential to maintaining public trust in a fair judicial process that respects the rights of all New Yorkers.
