Attorney Challenges Cop's Testimony — Judge DENIES Case Dismissal!

A courtroom battle over police credibility, alleged false testimony, and the prosecution's duty to disclose evidence takes center stage in this case involving defendant Andrew Kosis and Indiana State Police Sergeant Jeremy Bryce. During an evidentiary hearing before Judge David Francisco in St. Joseph Superior Court, defense attorney Donald Schmidt questioned Sergeant Bryce about a previous federal civil lawsuit involving allegations of an unlawful cell phone search. The questioning raised a critical issue: had the sergeant's earlier testimony about complaints against him been inaccurate, and should that information have been disclosed to the defense before he testified in Kosis's criminal case? The defense argued that the undisclosed lawsuit and the sergeant's deposition answers constituted a Brady violation, potentially undermining the credibility of a key prosecution witness. Attorney Schmidt asked the court to dismiss the criminal case or, alternatively, strike the sergeant's earlier testimony from the record. The prosecution disputed the significance of the information and argued that the judge could independently reconsider whether it affected the previous ruling. Judge David Francisco examined the competing arguments, questioned when the information should have been disclosed, and considered whether the alleged disclosure failure justified the severe remedy of dismissal. On June 1, 2026, Judge Francisco denied the motion to dismiss. According to the transcript, the criminal case remained pending, with a status hearing scheduled for June 12, 2026. This case highlights important questions about police credibility, witness impeachment, Brady disclosure obligations, due process, and the difference between identifying a possible disclosure problem and deciding what legal remedy is appropriate. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — The Case Against Andrew Kosis 01:33 — Attorney Questions the Police Sergeant 06:04 — The Federal Lawsuit and Deposition Dispute 12:07 — Defense Alleges a Brady Violation 18:17 — Judge Questions the Timing of Disclosure 26:03 — Dismissal Request and the Court's Decision ⚖️ DISCLAIMER: This video is presented for educational, informational, and commentary purposes.
