It is time for Southwest Ohio to get on board with open discovery.

As stated in this article (http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/02/prosecutor_bill_mason_to_offer.html), prosecutors all over the state are respecting the rights of the accused in their counties and turning over material evidence to defense attorneys early in litigation.  In the process, defendants’ rights are being protected, costs are lowered, and societal trust in the system rises.
