Daniels v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that the failure to collect evidence violates due process when police with gross negligence or bad faith fail to collect material evidence
• recognizing that the failure to gather evidence only amounts to a due process violation where the evidence is material and the failure to gather evidence was the result of gross negligence or bad faith
• holding that the defendant’s “claimed 19 incapacity to form specific intent [due to voluntary intoxication] would not shield him from 20 culpability for robbery and concomitant culpability for first-degree murder under the felony 21 murder rule”
• explaining that in determining if the police's failure to gather evidence rises to the level of injustice, the court must consider whether the evidence was material
• holding dismissal of charged for failure to gather evidence is only a possibility where the failure was in bad faith and there is a 19 reasonable probability of a different result had the evidence been collected
• explaining the remedies a district court can give to a defendant who challenges the State's failure to preserve evidence at trial
