Brady doesn't apply to grand jury proceedings. See United States v. Williams (1992).

Primary Holding:
A district court may not dismiss an otherwise valid indictment because the Government failed to disclose to the grand jury "substantial exculpatory evidence" in its possession.
....requiring the prosecutor to present exculpatory as well as inculpatory evidence would alter the grand jury's historical role, transforming it from an accusatory body that sits to assess whether there is adequate basis for bringing a criminal charge into an adjudicatory body that sits to determine guilt or innocence.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
The Lt was held to answer (or whatever the OK wording for it is) at the prelim.

Update: (TLDR: Judge throws out the charges but the officer is still in legal jeopardy because the DA isn’t willing to drop the matter, appellate court decision due possibly in 2022)
