Michigan Supreme Court

People of Michigan v. Kino Dominque Christian

July 27, 2022

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that the prosecution violated the defendants’ constitutional disclosure rights by withholding the first interview transcript of its central witness, because the transcript contained favorable and material impeachment evidence. The court concluded that the suppression established good cause and actual prejudice under the post-conviction-relief rule, entitling Christian, Edwards, and Hinton to new trials.
