Omar Saunders-El v. Eric Rohde

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that the district court erred in concluding categorically that allegations of evidence fabrication cannot form the basis for a federal due process claim
• reiterating that Brady claim cannot be “premised on the police officers’ silence following their alleged fabrication of the evidence”
• reiterating that Newsome establishes that allegations sounding in malicious prosecution must be brought pursuant to state law
• explaining that allegations of evidence fabrication can support a due-process claim under § 1983, separate from a state-law claim of malicious prosecution
• finding that “at least” the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits have held that a trial that results in an acquittal can never result in a Brady violation
• noting that a plaintiff must show that the favorable evidence is material, thus meaning that it “could reasonably be taken to put the whole case in such a different light as to undermine confidence” in the outcome of the proceeding
