This Giglio? It only pertains to cases where you cut someone a break for testifying. No, I think it's just another attorneys office full of people who lack confidence in their own legal abilities.
Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the prosecution's failure to inform the jury that a witness had been promised not to be prosecuted in exchange for his testimony was a failure to fulfill the duty to present all material evidence to the jury, and constituted a violation of due process, requiring a new trial.
