Chinn v. Shoop

Summary

Justice Jackson, joined by Justice Sotomayor, dissents from the Supreme Court's denial of certiorari in Chinn v. Shoop. The dissent argues that the Sixth Circuit misapplied the Brady materiality standard by equating the "reasonable probability" standard with a "more likely than not" standard, and urges that the Court should grant review to ensure proper application of Brady and Strickland precedents.
