The Government is not obligated to serve as members of the defense team, reviewing Jencks Act materials for the defense and itemizing and indexing disclosures for them. The Government is no more obligated to itemize Jencks Act materials containing co-conspirator statements than it is obligated to exhaustively detail for the defense the basis for offering any other type of witness statement contained in the Jencks Act material it has produced. Such an obligation would extremely burdensome and is both without precedent and entirely unnecessary. The defense team has ample resources to review the Government's disclosures and file any motions they wish to make regarding the admission of certain testimony. And there is ample time before trial for the defense to do so, and no basis in the record to believe the defense will be unable to raise these issues and seek a ruling before trial.\n\nThe defense argues that the Court did order the Government to itemize co-conspirator statements contained in its Jencks Act production.
