Prosecutors hand discovery evidence to defense, with conditions

The government has begun providing discovery to defense lawyers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle Wirshba told Hellerstein.

He said the government opposes allowing the defense attorneys to share information with co-conspirators of Maduro or his wife, Cilia Flores. Maduro's attorney, Barry Pollack, said Maduro and Flores could be convicted based on the evidence of criminality presented by other defendants, and emphasized the importance of their defense teams sharing information.
