How courts have described this case

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

• finding that prosecution’s nondisclosure of witness and statement did not violate defendant’s due process rights where allegedly exculpatory evidence failed to contradict evidence used to convict defendant and evidence was of questionable probative value
• preclusion of a defense witness is acceptable when the defense has acted in bad faith, but emphasizing that in general cases of nondisclosure, preclusion of the witness is unjustified as less drastic measures such as a continuance could be taken
