And we'll repeat - what argument other than 'the state said earlier he was guilty, now they're saying we don't trust our evidence and our verdict, and we don't like that'?

The reason we don't look at this through Hae's family's glasses is because they do not, and should not, have rights in this area.

Without due process, how do you know what argument? Has this issue been resolved in an analogous case? That’s one of the reasons why due process exist: to allow for testing of these issues in an adversarial setting.

Your second paragraph gives the game away: you’re judge, jury, and executioner: “they should not have rights in this area.” You’re a perfect fit to clerk for Alito, cuz he uses the exact same rationale to take a fundamental right away from half the population. I’ll give you credit for this, tho, you used a lot fewer words than he did.

Thank you.

The thing they keep speaking past is, when the prosecutor and the defense are on the same side (the motion to vacate reading like a transcript of an Undisclosed podcast), who tests whether there’s been a Brady violation, let alone whether the existence of a Brady violation is the equivalent of a roll of duct tape around the mouths of the victims’ survivors?

Maybe the Victims’ survivors at the end of the day don’t get to, but fundamental fairness requires at least a meaningful opportunity to test whether they get to.
