Roy Clifton Iness, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Roy Clifton Iness's rape conviction, holding that the police report the defense sought was neither admissible nor material exculpatory evidence and therefore its nondisclosure did not violate Brady. The Court also found the trial court's handling of jury requests, the alleged mistrial issue, and the sentencing instruction to be proper, and rejected the dissent's broader materiality test.
