Why wasn Jim Brown given a copy of the handwritten notes of his interview with FBI agent Harry Burton?
It’s obvious now that the notes have finally been made public. They dramatically differ from the testimony that Burton gave at the trial. The notes would have been of great help to Jim Brown’s defense. Otherwise, why would the prosecutors have worked so long and hard to keep Brown from getting these notes? A comparison with another defendant in the Cascade case, Ron Weems, shows what a great disadvantage Jim Brown had at the trial. Co-defendant Ron Weems was given the notes of his interview with Harry Burton. Weems used these notes effectively in cross-examining Burton, and the notes were significantly different than what Burton typed up in his final report. The notes were a great help to Weems, and certainly would have been of even greater help to Jim Brown. There is overwhelming agreement by any neutral party who has looked at the notes and reviewed Burton’s testimony that the handwritten notes of Burton would have set Jim Brown free. Q: Has there ever been a case in any federal cour
