Robert L. Lingle v. State of Iowa David Scurr

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that medical report was not material for Brady purposes where report, at best, showed lack of vaginal penetration of sexual abuse victim; penetration was not necessary for conviction of sexual abuse of a minor under Iowa law
• finding the suppressed impeachment evidence was not material, in part because the conviction was not based solely on the potentially impeached witness’s testimony
• noting, in a child sexual abuse case, that “[p]erhaps, . . . the [victim’s medical] report could have been used to raise doubts in the jurors’ minds as to [the defendant’s] guilt or innocence”
