On this episode of The Injustice Files, we take a look at two cases involving police and prosecutors hiding evidence from defendant's lawyers; an unconstitutional breach of The Brady Rule.
Our first case, the case of Christopher Abernathy centers upon the tragic 1984 rape and murder of a 16 YO girl in the Chicago suburb of Park Forest , IL. He was sentenced to Life without Parole as a 17 YO teen, in 1988.
Our second case is from the same period but in Kern County CA. Jeffery Modhal, a father that reported child sexual abuse about his daughters from other family members had the tables turned on him and became accused as well. Caught up in the Satanic, Pedophile Panic of the 1980s, He and his wife and oldest daughter were all convicted and sentenced to long prison terms before appellate attorneys in 1999 discovered evidence hidden by case prosecutors.
