Julian Marquez v. Commissioner of Correction — Palmer, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Palmer concurred in the majority's result and agreed that any nondisclosure of an alleged leniency arrangement with cooperating witness Edwin Soler was not material under Brady. He separately emphasized that, although the existence of a formal agreement was not resolved, the record showed at least an informal understanding that Soler would receive consideration for testifying. Justice Palmer, concurring, urged disclosure and written memorialization of such understandings and suggested a jury instruction when other measures are unavailable.
