Law question: penalties for withholding exculpatory evidence?

Watched cool episode of forensic files last night
Woman convicted for poisoning man with LSD in his jello. Funny, I know.
Well, the initial screening testing positive for LSD. However, manufacturer claims it to be only a screen and that confirmatory test is required.
DA had confirmatory test done. Test came back negative for LSD, and info was not transferred to defense.
Woman sat in jail for 7 years until she received a new lawyer for her first appeals hearing. She actually agreed to a deal on manslaughter and time served due her distrust of the system.
I think it is obvious that she got paid, but a ton of people should be disbarred and/or go to jail for this coverup.

The prosecuters have to read your shitty posts for the rest of eternity as a penalty.

I focus mainly on bird law cases so take all this with a big grain of salt.
Why did her lawers not have the confirmatory test done independently from the DA?
If not have there own test done, were her lawyers never curious why the results from that confirmatory test the DA was having done never did come back in?
If they were unaware the tests were being done at all (again, why are they not having it tested also) and the evidence was never entered into court, aside from being a pretty big dick move, I'm not sure her lawers are obligated to know.

A prosecutor in Texas lost his law license and I believe is facing criminal and civil penalties because of the Brady violate.

Valid point, shiner
What got case rolling again was idiotic coroner listing cause of death as "acute LSD intoxication"
First attorney was quite incompetent, apparantly

Mona Lisa Vito told me "It's called disclosure, ya dickhead."

prosecutors do it all the time and rarely get punished. State bars always roll over and defer to the DAs and the law is hesitant to punish them for 'doing their job.' Only lately are we seeing any of them face blowback for it and even then it's in the most egregious of instances.

How the hell do you kill someone with LSD? I thought the lethal dose was astronomically high? I guess you could give it to them and have them have a panic attack that causes cardiac arrest or wreck a car or something.

I believe disclosure is during the pleadings...
we don't know where in the process the confirmation was done...

I'm fairly certain the model code of ethics requires the revelation of exculpatory evidence

I've always heard that you can't OD on LSD and the only way to detect it is in the spinal fluid, but I was probably tripping when someone told me that so it's probably just bullshite urban legends.
