State v. Corey Jermaine Brown

Syllabus

Corey Brown was convicted of conspiracy to commit grand larceny, armed robbery, and kidnapping. At trial, an alleged co-conspirator testified against Brown after engaging in plea negotiations with the State. The trial court granted Brown's post-trial motion for a new trial because the State failed to disclose its negotiations with the co-conspirator, Shadarron Evans. The court of appeals reversed. This Court reverses the court of appeals and remands for a new trial because the State had a duty under Brady v. Maryland to disclose its negotiations with Evans.
