1. ““If at any time during the course of the proceedings it is brought to the attention of the court that a party has failed to comply with this rule or with an order issued pursuant to this rule, the court may order such party to permit the discovery or inspection; may grant a continuance if requested by the aggrieved party; may prohibit the party from introducing evidence not disclosed; or may enter such other order as the court deems just under the circumstances. The court may specify the time, place, and manner of making the discovery and inspection and may prescribe such terms and conditions as are just.””

2. “"`[T]hat is bad conduct on the part of the State, and we cannot just continue to make false representations like that. I mean, that is inappropriate. And Mr. Duraski's whole case, as I understand it from him, was whether or not these folks could be identified on the tape. In other words, if they were on the tape and you can identify them, then, fine, that speaks for itself. But even if you couldn't identify them, that didn't mean the case was going away. That just would tell Mr. Duraski, hey, I've got something good to argue at trial; you can't tell that's my folks. But the tape was very instrumental in his defense.' "The trial court then reiterated that it was dismissing the indictments because the State's conduct was improper, saying, `[Y]ou cannot continue for months and make representations that are not true. I mean, that is totally improper."”
