STATE v. BROWN (2025)

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

STATE of Louisiana v. Christopher Edward BROWN

No. 2025-KK-00040

Decided: April 01, 2025

The defendant has not demonstrated exceptional circumstances or a peculiarly distinctive reason why fundamental fairness dictates discovery of the witness's contact information. See State v. Harper, 10-0356 (La. 11/30/10), 53 So. 3d 1263. The trial court erred in ordering the State to produce that information. The judgment of the trial court is reversed and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
