A \u201cjarringly late\u201d disclosure of thousands of pages of material doomed the case against three men,\u00a0Glen Horowitz<\/strong>,\u00a0Craig Inciardi\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Edward Kosinki<\/strong>, who were accused of stealing Don Henley<\/strong>\u2019s handwritten notes that included the lyrics to well-known Eagles<\/strong> songs, a New York judge said Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Henley invoked, and later waived, attorney-client privilege over some 6,000 pages of material but not before he testified, depriving the defense of an opportunity to ask him about it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese delayed disclosures revealed relevant information the defense should have had the opportunity to explore\u00a0in cross-examination of the People’s witnesses,\u201d Assistant District Attorney Aaron Ginandes<\/strong> told the judge Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The judge agreed to dismiss the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now clear that both witnesses and their lawyers, two of which also shielded themselves from thorough and complete cross-examination by relying on Mr.\u00a0Henley’s invocation, used the privilege to obfuscate and hide information that they believed would be damaging to their position that the lyric sheets were stolen. This is a basic confrontation violation,\u201d New York State Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber<\/strong> said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The judge said the Manhattan district attorney\u2019s office was \u201capparently manipulated\u201d by Henley and his lawyer but Farber also faulted prosecutors, saying \u201cthey\u00a0should have recognized that they did not have a complete understanding of their case and that potential material existed upon which the defense could rely on in their defense.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The judge added, \u201cDistrict Attorney Bragg and the prosecutorial team here, while eating a slice of humble pie, are displaying the highest level of integrity in moving to dismiss the charges. I am impressed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
