00:00The jury has been sworn, Jeopardy has attached, and a mistrial would not be based upon manifest
00:05necessity. Further, the sanction of dismissal is warranted in this case. The state has repeatedly
00:10made representations to defense and to the court that they were compliant with all their discovery
00:15obligations. Despite their repeated representations, they have continued to fail to disclose critical
00:21evidence to the defendant. Brady and Harper are satisfied. Dismissal with prejudice is warranted.
00:29Court also has power, inherent power.
00:33Per State v. Lemire, where discovery violations inject needless delay into the proceedings,
00:38courts may impose meaningful sanctions to effectuate their inherent power
00:43and promote efficient judicial administration.
