United States Supreme Court

In an appeal from the denial of habeas relief from defendant's conviction for first-degree murder, judgment is reversed where the prosecutor's failure to disclose contradictory statements of the sole eyewitness, whose testimony formed the basis of defendant's conviction, was a Brady violation because the statements are material where there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed, the result of the proceeding would have been different.
