In 1963, in Brady v. Maryland, the United States Supreme Court announced that “the suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution.” Later the Supreme Court established that a prosecutor violates her constitutional duty of disclosure “when the omission is of sufficient significance to result in the denial of the defendant's right to a fair trial,” even absent a defense request, and that impeachment evidence is exculpatory.This program will explore, from both the defense and prosecution perspectives, all aspects of Brady litigation - the constitutional underpinnings, the pragmatic applications for the defense and prosecution, the ethical issues involved and innovative ways to facilitate Brady disclosures. Speakers include: J. Vincent Aprile, II, Lynch Cox Gilman & Goodman, Adrienne C. Earley, Jefferson County Attorney’s Office and Theodore S. Shouse, Attorney at Law
