Prosecutors have added two former Phoenix police officers charged in connection with a violent traffic stop to a list of law enforcement witnesses whose testimony may not be credible.
Antonio Felix and Luis Vasquez Jr. are now members of the Brady list, which is a tally of law enforcement officers with past misconduct that prosecutors must disclose under the 14th Amendment.
The list is named for a 1963 Supreme Court ruling that prosecutors have to share exculpatory information with the defense or they violate due process.
Felix spent nine years with the Phoenix Police Department, and Vasquez served eight years.
They were fired the same day they were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and assaulting a couple in an unreported traffic stop.
