Michigan Supreme Court

People of Michigan v. Kenneth Duane Milton

December 11, 2020

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court vacated the trial court's order denying post-conviction relief and remanded for reconsideration of the defendant's claims based on undisclosed exculpatory evidence and newly discovered evidence. The court held that the trial court failed to address the disclosure claim and improperly resolved witness credibility instead of applying the required reasonable-juror analysis. The court denied the request for an immediate evidentiary hearing.
