Brady, Giglio, use of force
Brady and Giglio disclosures, officer credibility findings, use-of-force referrals, and officer-involved incidents — the records that decide whether an officer can be believed on the witness stand.
Asked for an eleven-field privilege log, the office produced nine document titles and a citation to MCL 15.243(9) — a subsection that does not exist.
Asked for a count of crime scenes a prosecutor attended, the office listed eight records, refused to reproduce them as duplicative, and never supplied the number. Every dated item on the list falls in 2024.
The office says it keeps no Brady/Giglio disclosure log — while its own 2024 policy orders six police agencies to report eight kinds of officer-credibility information to it. Then it quotes the same $74,520 it quoted seven weeks earlier.
Every Brady/Giglio statistic certified nonexistent. The policy manuals handed over free. And a $37,260 deposit demanded before anyone would look.
The office said it was disqualified in 2022, the AG disagreed, and in 2024 the office decided on its own that no new review was needed.
Three of four parts certified nonexistent, and the fourth priced at $1,863 — with the fee-waiver boxes left blank.
137 pages on how the office tracks officer credibility — and an answer that describes a case-by-case practice, not a maintained list.
The bar raid was the subject. The reports test a trash pull and a traffic stop. The biggest confirmed quantity is 26.4 grams, not the four ounces the press described.
Every 2024 email and text, in four categories. The requester offered to take a log first. The office quoted 1,440 hours of work and a $31,514.40 deposit instead.
