"She reiterated to Mr. Pacheco that it was cut and dry, the investigator had prepared a false report." Under the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Brady v Maryland decision, prosecutors have a duty to disclose evidence helpful to the accused, including the credibility of a witness. Hunt said Pacheco told her not to disclose anything to defense attorneys in the unidentified case. Pacheco said there was a system set up in 2006, when Trask was district attorney, to review possible Brady violations and she did not follow that policy, he said. Hunt said in her lawsuit she did not know at the time that the same investigator was the subject of similar allegations in a case that was under review by the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office.

The general clinical sequence of a victim who is being strangled is one of severe pain, followed  by unconsciousness, followed by brain death.  The victim will lose conscious-ness by any one or  all of the following: blocking of the carotid arteries (depriving the brain of oxygen), blocking of  the jugular veins (preventing deoxygenated blood from exiting the brain), and closing off the  airway, causing the victim to be unable to breathe.       Only eleven pounds of pressure placed on both carotid arteries for ten seconds is necessary to  cause unconsciousness.4 How-ever, if pressure is released immediately, consciousness will be  regained within ten seconds.  To completely close off the trachea, three times as much pressure  (33 lbs.) is required.  Brain death will occur in 4 to 5 minutes, if strangulation persists.
