People v. Woodward

People v. Woodward, 422 Mich 941; 369 NW2d 852 (1985), involved a situation where the prosecutor failed to provide the defendant with a copy of the second side of a preliminary complaint report containing information regarding the seizure of a vial. The trial court found that defendant was not prejudiced by the technical violation of the discovery order. The Court agreed because the first page of the report ended in the middle of a sentence which should have alerted defense counsel to the fact that something was missing and the trial court held a hearing mid-trial on the legality of the seizure of the vial.
