What’s been the experience in jurisdictions that have freed more arrestees without bail? How about in those jurisdictions where evidence against the accused must be turned over to him sooner? Both changes are going into effect in NY soon.https://nypost.com/2019/08/11/nypd-deputy-commissioner-slams-bail-reform-says-99-wont-see-jail-cell/ …

The latter -- evidence turned over sooner -- seems a no brainer for a just system.

You know that includes the names of witnesses in gang-related crimes, right? Not all NYS counties can afford relocation expenses, like the DAs in NYC can.

For someone who knows the new law: can the judge, on a case-by-case basis, order a witness’ name be turned over only to the defendant’s attorney, or otherwise limit disclosure where necessary? And what’s been the experience of other jurisdictions (like Texas) on this issue?

Upon a showing of “good cause,” the court can order that any discoverable information – including a name – be disclosed to only the defense lawyer, and not to the defendant personally.

This is a standard practice nationwide, including in other “open file” discovery states like Texas and North Carolina. The procedure is proven to work. That’s why DAs from across the country, including Texas, weighed in to support New York's enactment of open file discovery.

They have not had problems with witness safety related to discovery because the protective order procedure outlined above is available and used in appropriate cases.
