Re: relaese of evidence

You appear to already have an attorney in this matter, so no one here can give you specific advice as to yoru particular case. However, generally, a criminal defendant always has the righ to have their cousel examine the evidence to be presented against their client. If the state cannot produce the tapes and there is regular practice of recording such interrogations, then the absence can be brought up as information tending to discount the vailidity of an officer's testimony as to what a defendant said.

Good Luck
