Question presented

WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT DEPARTED FROM THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF LAW IN DISCOVERY RULINGS THAT RESULTED IN A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE AND DEPRIVATION OF PETITIONER’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS? WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT’S DISCOVERY RULINGS DEPRIVED PETITIONER OF EVIDENCE UNDER BRADY THAT WOULD SUPPORT AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE AND PETITIONER’S THEORY OF INNOCENCE? WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT’S DISCOVERY RULINGS CAUSED PETITIONER IRREPARABLE INJURY WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE CASE, IMPACTING THE IMPENDING TRIAL, LEAVING PETITIONER NO OTHER ADEQUATE REMEDY TO REVIEW THE DISCOVERY ORDERS, BUT CERTIORARI?
