Notice of Brady Disclosure Record Status for Donald Rice

At this time, there are no records of previously disclosed Brady material available for Donald Rice. This should not be interpreted as a conclusive determination regarding Donald Rice’s conduct, credibility, professional history, or performance. The presence of a profile on this platform is non-punitive and should not, by itself, be understood as an allegation, finding, or adverse determination.

The absence of disclosed material is also affected by institutional limitations. 38th Judicial District Court is not in compliance with its Brady disclosure obligations, and Louisiana does not maintain a functioning system for the tracking, verification, and disclosure of Brady-related information.

For a more complete assessment of Donald Rice’s record, inquiries should be directed to 38th Judicial District Court, any prior employers, relevant prosecuting agencies, and other official custodians of personnel, disciplinary, and Brady disclosure records. Contact information is provided below.

Louisiana Public Records Act

La.R.S. 44:1 et seq.

The Louisiana Public Records Act, also known as Louisiana's Sunshine Law, was enacted by the state’s legislature in 1940. Section LA 44.01.2(a) defines public records as, “All books, records, writings, accounts, letters and letter books, maps, drawings, photographs, cards, tapes, recordings, memorandum, and papers, and all copies, duplicates, photographs, including microfilm, or other reproductions thereof, or any other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, including information contained in electronic data processing equipment, having been used, being in use, or prepared, possessed, or retained for use in the conduct, transaction, or performance of any business, transaction, work, duty, or function which was conducted, transacted, or performed by or under the authority of the constitution or laws of this state, or by or under the authority of any ordinance, regulation, mandate, or order of any public body or concerning the receipt or payment of any money received or paid by or under the authority of the constitution or the laws of this state, are "public records", except as otherwise provided in this Chapter or the Constitution of Louisiana.”

Anyone can request public records and a purpose does not need to be stated. There are no restrictions on what can be done with the public documents once a records requester has them in hand. The custodian of the records must respond to requests within three days.
