Judge Morrow actively refused to enforce constitutional protections. He explicitly instructed the defendant, Leon Seales, with the following statement: "I don't want to hear any of that Brady list nonsense in my court." By issuing this directive, the judge explicitly barred the defendant from utilizing established constitutional law to impeach the state's primary witness, effectively prioritizing an officer's standing over a citizen's Fourteenth Amendment right to due process. ## Supporting Document(s) [leon seals case.jpg](/system/files/webform/judge_complaint/14975/leon%20seals%20case.jpg)
