State Ex Rel. Darrell J. Robinson v. Darrel Vannoy

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana held that the district court erred in finding no Brady violation, reversed the defendant's capital convictions and death sentences, and remanded for a new trial, emphasizing that undisclosed exculpatory evidence and false testimony violated due process. The Court also noted that the district court applied an incorrect materiality standard and failed to consider the cumulative effect of the suppressed evidence.
