Class Discussion Questions

1.   There was a Texas judge that was charged with violations of the Brady rule resulting from actions committed when the judge was a former prosecutor.  Who is this judge?  (Hint: Williamson County) What was the case that alleges he violated the Brady rule?  Do you feel that prosecutions for violations of the Brady rule should be pursued, or may they actually hinder the efficiency of the criminal justice system?  Why or why not?  Provide a rationale that supports your decision.   (Note: this case is not in the textbook, so you will have to do an internet search, but as with all of the discussion questions, you do not need to cite to any sources).
