Court of Appeals of New York

Conviction for sodomy in the first degree is reversed based on the government's Brady violation where: 1) the government learned, but did not disclose to defendant, that the same woman had recently accused another man of raping her in that man's home; and 2) post-trial events do not serve to nullify a defendant's rights under Brady at the time of trial and before it.
