Judge Audra Eckerle recently dismissed a case in her courtroom after a prosecutor continually neglected to turn over exculpatory evidence which was in his possession. I don’t personally know the young prosecutor on the case, but I have had similar experiences with other Assistant Commonwealth Attorneys in that office, and it is shameful that the leadership continues to stand behind such unethical and egregious behaviors. Kudos to Judge Eckerle for not tolerating these actions.
