Discovery: In what ways would discovery alter an investigator's methods of investigating?

Discovery that can be submitted into the law must be commensurate with discovery laws regarding dispositions, spontaneous admissions, and investigative questioning. When collecting data, the investigator must be careful not to leave him or herself open to charges of tainting witness testimony, and must share all potentially relevant testimony with opposing counsel.

Likewise, it was alleged that Lopez's alibi was airtight.
However, the court found sufficient evidence that there was enough light, and that Mr. Lopez's location was of sufficient proximity to the murder that the court was not in error.
