Notice of Brady Disclosure Record Status for Melissa DuBose

At this time, there are no records of previously disclosed Brady material available for Melissa DuBose. This should not be interpreted as a conclusive determination regarding Melissa DuBose’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. Rhode Island District Court is not in compliance with its Brady disclosure obligations, and Rhode Island does not maintain a functioning system for the tracking, verification, and disclosure of Brady-related information.

Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act

R.I. Gen. Laws §§38-2-1

The Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act, first enacted in 1979, is a law that guarantees access to public records of government bodies at all levels in Rhode Island. The act is defined in Chapter 38.2 of the Rhode Island General Laws and has been significantly revised in 1991, 1998 and 2008. Public records are all documents, no matter their physical form that are “made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.”

Anyone can request public records, and no statement of purpose is required. According to the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act §38-2-6, it is illegal to use information obtained from public records to "solicit for commercial purposes, or to obtain a commercial advantage over the party furnishing that information to the public body." Rhode Island law allows 10 days for a public body to deny a request. If the agency does not respond within 10 days, it is deemed a denial.
