It's not a question of "proving" self defense. It's a question of prosecutorial ethics.

Under the US Supreme Court's "Brady v Maryland" ruling a prosecutor has an ethical duty to disclose exculpatory evidence. A prosecutor also has an ethical duty of "fair dealing" to the accused.

Dershowitz, a liberal BTW, is simply pointing out that a prosecutor who fails to act ethically both undermines the rights of the accused and causes people to lose faith in the ultimate outcome.

Do you really think expecting a DA to do his or her job ethically is "taking sides"?
