People v. Phillips

Defendant appeals by leave granted an order compelling him to produce reports created by his expert witnesses to the prosecutor, when no such reports were created or existed. Defendant was charged with second-degree murder, MCL 750.317, arising out of a single-vehicle accident that resulted in the death of defendant’s passenger. We reverse.
