What is a Brady violation?

A Brady violation occurs when the prosecution fails to disclose evidence that is favorable to the defendant, which could affect the outcome of a trial.

Such violations can lead to wrongful convictions and may result in the reversal of a conviction or a new trial.


What is Brady evidence?

Brady evidence refers to exculpatory or impeachment evidence that the prosecution is required to disclose to the defense under the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brady v. Maryland (1963).
