May I point out that the evidence you describe has "exculpatory" was not in fact "exculpatory" at all. It was basically almost entirely irrelevant. Although I agree that even if it was exculpatory, given that the Prosecutors had disclosed this evidence to the Defence, they had no obligation to point out it's importance to the defence.
