Prosecutorial Misconduct and an Unsympathetic Defendant (SCOTUS needs to take this one!)

Few things are as important to lawyers as the attorney-client privilege. It's built into the law, our contracts, our ethical rules, and ingrained in our behavior. So how could Federal Prosecutors have acted in good faith in (a) keeping privileged documents and reviewing them for 6 months; and (b) never disclosing it to the court or defense attorneys. While this defendant is not a terribly sympathetic defendant, the feds ran roughshod over his rights, and the judge let them get by with it.
