New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. George Scott, Appellant
June 5, 199688 N.Y.2d 888
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s order denying the defendant’s motion to vacate his convictions. It held that the defense’s discovery request was sufficiently specific to invoke the "reasonable possibility" standard of materiality, and that the undisclosed polygraph report was not material under that standard.
