Petitions of the day

Issue:(1) Whether, underBrady v. Maryland, courts may consider information that arises after trial in determining the materiality of suppressed evidence; and (2) whether, in a case where no physical evidence inculpated petitioners, the prosecution’s suppression of information that included the identification of a plausible alternative perpetrator violated petitioners’ due process rights underBrady.

Issue:Whether, consistent with this Court’sBrady v. Marylandjurisprudence, a court may require a defendant to demonstrate that suppressed evidence would have led the jury to doubt virtually everything about the government’s case in order to establish that the evidence is material.
