  Pender is one of dozens of officers named on a prosecutorial watch list kept by the Middlesex district attorney’s office. Known as a “Brady list,” the DA’s document currently tracks more than 100 officers. All were flagged by prosecutors as either having engaged in or been accused of misconduct that the DA's office might legally need to disclose to the defense as the information could speak to officers' credibility.

  WBUR found at least three of the state’s 11 district attorneys maintain some form of their own Brady list.

  Sometimes called “disclosure” or “do-not-call” lists, the records aid prosecutors in adhering to constitutional requirements under the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Brady v. Maryland. The landmark ruling demands prosecutors turn over any material that might be favorable for the defense — including relevant information about police witnesses set to testify in a case.
