flag A Maine judge found prosecutors acted in bad faith due to missed evidence, citing understaffing and systemic flaws.

flag A Maine judge ruled in September that District Attorney Maeghan Maloney’s office acted in “bad faith” by failing to provide discovery evidence in a drug case, citing a prosecutor’s unfamiliarity with the case and caseloads exceeding 300 cases per prosecutor. flag The decision highlights systemic issues including understaffing, delayed evidence sharing, and digital complexity, with defense attorneys warning of compromised fair trials. flag Maloney attributed the lapse to an email oversight and staffing shortages, while a separate case involving withheld disciplinary records for a key witness was deemed a “serious” violation by a lower court. flag The Maine Supreme Judicial Court is now reviewing that appeal. flag Repeated discovery failures raise concerns about justice system integrity.
