State v. Hunter

386 S.E.2d 460, 300 S.C. 83, 1989 S.C. LEXIS 232

Opinion

Chandler, Justice:

Appellant Roy F. Hunter (Hunter) contends the State failed to produce certain evidence required by Brady v. Maryland.1 We agree.

Prior to the call of the case, Hunter filed a Brady motion. During trial, it was revealed that the State had not disclosed all information to which he was entitled. The State’s failure to comply with Brady mandates reversal and a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.

Gregory, C. J., and Harwell, Finney and Toal, JJ., concur.
