How courts have described this case

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

noting that “ ‘the Constitution is not violated every time the government fails or chooses not to disclose evidence that might prove helpful to the defense’ ”
declining to review whether undisclosed evidence was favorable to defense because defendant did not show evidence was material
requiring defen- dant to demonstrate ‘‘that the favorable evidence could reasonably be taken to put the whole case in such a different light as to undermine confidence in the ver- dict’’ (emphasis added; internal quotation marks omit- ted)
for purposes of Brady analysis, declining to determine whether suppressed evidence was favorable in light of conclusion that suppressed evidence was not material
improper exclusion of evidence that would have explained why defendant had lied to police did not violate defendant’s constitutional right to present defense because evidence did not pertain directly to defendant’s defense theory of nonparticipation in robbery and murder
there was ‘‘signifi- cant’’ other evidence that defendant was at scene of murder
