United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's firearm possession conviction is reversed, where the prosecutor failed to turn over all evidence of a government witness's criminal history to defense counsel, as required by Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), and the prosecutor was responsible for oversights by his criminal investigator.
