I have read the proceedings of the Katanga case keenly, as they are serialized in the daily newspapers. I can not help but think there is a certain level of disgusting discourtesy in the courtroom, especially from the prosecutors. Why are folks so animated? Why would one shout at

The general rule in criminal trials is that the parties have a duty of disclosure to ensure a fair trial. The duty includes disclosing exculpatory (exonerating) and inculpatory (implicating) evidence. Hiding evidence from the other party is generally frowned upon and considered
