Of course "The State" has absolutely no obligation to present the case for the defence or to cooperate with the defence in any manner whatsoever.
The sole job of the Prosecution is to secure convictions and it should be as free to do so by using any means (fair or foul) as the Defence is to secure acquittals of the guilty.
Right?
Besides if those bleeding-heart, tree-hugging, gun-hating, left-wing socialist-liberal, pinkos hadn't degraded the speed and certainty with which capital punishment was actually carried out on the convicted malefactors then we wouldn't be hearing about these so-called "wrongful convictions".

COL Ted Mc thanks for the thread great points of interest here. I agree on the role of the prosecution. I find this to be a game changer here.
"If prosecutors have an ethical duty to avoid wrongful convictions, then they should have some sort of ethical duty to remedy wrongful convictions," said attorney Brad Bannon, of the North Carolina Bar's ethics committee.
He wants North Carolina to adopt a rule recommended by the American Bar Association, requiring prosecutors to come forward if they find "new, credible and material evidence" that an innocent person is serving time. Thirteen states have adopted the post-conviction rule. North Carolina isn't among them.

COL Ted Mc
SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - Sergeant; Is it true that, in some jurisdictions, actually meaning it when you mention "ethics" and "practising law" in the same sentence can get you disciplined by the Bar Association?

Love the Sarcasm! Just makes you sick sometimes. You wonder how many have died from Wrongful Convictions. Wonder if we are just seeing the tip of a Mighty Big Iceberg.

Is this sarcasm? The text of COL Ted Mc's post is incorrect from start to finish. If this is sarcasm, it is well hidden.

COL Ted Mc
LTC (Join to see) - Major; If you consider that the sarcasm was "well hidden" then you missed the two one word sentences that each said "Right?".
