Cited to Support
May's allegation that widespread misconduct by law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in Buncombe County resulted in the suppression of favorable and material evidence, concealed information relevant to witness credibility and impeachment, and deprived the Defendant of a fair trial. May cites Brady v. Maryland to establish the State's constitutional duty to disclose exculpatory and impeachment evidence favorable to the defense. May further relies upon Brady as the foundational authority supporting his claim that the cumulative misconduct and nondisclosure described throughout the Supplemental MAR violated his due process rights and warrant post-conviction relief.
