Supreme Court of Iowa

Bart Richmond v. Jefferson County Attorney

May 1, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the district court’s judgment removing the sheriff from the county attorney’s Brady-Giglio list. It held that judicial review of list-placement decisions does not interfere with prosecutors’ constitutional disclosure obligations or core prosecutorial functions because the statute regulates only the list and does not control disclosures or witness selection in particular criminal cases. The court declined to consider the vagueness challenge because it was not preserved below.
