State of Tennessee, Appellee v. Isaac Earl Edgin, Appellant

Summary

The Tennessee Supreme Court held that the State did not violate the Brady rule by withholding the victim J1’s pre‑trial statement because the statement was neither favorable nor material, and it adopted the Kyles "reasonable probability" standard for materiality, which did not change the result. The Court reversed the Court of Criminal Appeals’ partial new‑trial order and reinstated the conviction.
