This will be my last comment on this because I have nothing more to say but I wanted to respond to you:
The new report is a discovery violation since the defense was not made aware of the changes in the report in a timely manner; frankly midtrial. The late disclosure results in insufficient time for the person with 6thamendment rights to adequately analyze and prepare a response. It unfairly disadvantages the defendant over the Commonwealth; again a constitutional violation in my view.
There are concerns about a possible violation of the sequestration order for witnesses and in particular this expert witness. Did the expert listen to testimony that now influences the findings or result in the “amendment?” It’s a fair question.
Whatever side anyone is on in this case, and I have NEVER said that I think Read is guilty or innocent, ask yourself if it was you, who by circumstance, became a defendant, if you think it would be fair for the prosecutor in the middle of your trial to say there is an amended report (that will harm your case) and he wants it to come in even though you get no adequate time to prepare for it or call an opposing expert. Would you be okay with it? Would you think your 6th amendment rights were protected? Again, fair question.
