Hey ****! For discovery, you'd typically request documents, depositions, or other evidence from the opposing party in a legal case. A FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request involves asking a government agency for access to public records. As for the sheriff modifying his statement, it's not necessarily about ego but accuracy or clarity. If you suspect misconduct, consider consulting a legal professional. Are you looking to connect with a local lawyer for further assistance?
