State v. McGuire

Citations

  • 2018 Ohio 1390

Syllabus

Brady v. Maryland exculpatory evidence impeachment evidence aggravated murder body camera evidence potentially useful evidence bad faith. McGuire's right to a fair trial was not violated. Brady v. Maryland did not obligate the state to turn over evidence that a responding officer was under investigation for an unrelated incident. Lost body camera evidence also did not create a Brady violation because it was not materially exculpatory evidence, only potentially useful evidence, and McGuire was unable to show bad faith on the part of the police in failing to preserve the evidence.
