Brady v. Maryland (1963)
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. This obligation arises from the 1963 Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, where the court ruled that withholding exculpatory evidence violates a defendant's right to a fair trial. Such violations can lead to wrongful convictions and may result in the reversal of a conviction or a new trial.
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). This includes any evidence that could potentially undermine the credibility of the prosecution's case or support the defendant's innocence. Failure to disclose such evidence can lead to a violation of a defendant's right to a fair trial. The obligation to disclose Brady evidence is ongoing and applies throughout the legal proceedings.
