Ex Parte Freda S. Mowbray A/k/a Susie Mowbray

Summary

The Court held that the State's intentional suppression of an exculpatory forensic report violated the applicant's Fourteenth Amendment due process rights, warranting a new trial. The majority found the suppressed evidence material and ordered the conviction set aside, while two dissenting judges argued the suppression was not deliberate and that the evidence was not favorable enough to merit relief.
