State v. Andres C. (Dissent)

Summary

Justice Ecker dissented from the majority's affirmance of the defendant's conviction, concluding that the complainant's Spanish-language journals had not been adequately reviewed for discoverable statements or favorable impeachment evidence. The dissent would have remanded for an English translation, an evidentiary determination whether the journals were adopted or approved statements, and an in camera review for Brady material. The dissent also concluded that any preservation problem did not bar review of the constitutional claim. No separate opinions are included in the record provided.
