Explain the Brady decision and how it may affect police officers
What will be an ideal response?
• In 1963 the Supreme Court ruled in Brady v. Maryland that the defense has the right to examine all evidence that may be of an exculpatory nature. This landmark case stands for the proposition that the prosecution will not only release evidence that the defendant might be guilty of a crime but also release all evidence that might show that the defendant is innocent as well. Police officers who lie about or withhold exculpatory information may, if the deception is discovered, see the case against the defendant collapse and be dismissed.
