Discovery is;

A category of procedural devices employed by a party to a civil or criminal action, prior to trial, to require the adverse party to disclose information that is essential for the preparation of the requesting party's case and that the other party alone knows or possesses.

Isn't there a moral and ethical necessity to obey and follow through on a FOIL request that might have evidence that is exculpatory?
