The problem is a tempest in a teapot. I am a member of the bar in Mass & one of the states listed in the dissent as having the rule the majority now foists upon the bar. I practice primarily outside of Mass I can count the number of cases on two fingers where I have turned over something under our rule that the the prosecutor herself did not also have access.

That's bad. Is there some way to challenge this in federal court on Constitutional grounds? Yikes.

The link to the case didn't work for me but I found that the cite in Westlaw is Commonwealth v. Durham, 2006 WL 589386. Possibly people w/out Westlaw access can still access the case through the court's site (click "opinions" under "Supreme Judical Court"). Goddamn I hate Westlaw!
