3. “•In our opinion, the considerations that led to the decision in Ruiz do not lead to the same conclusiqn when it comes to material exculpatory information. While the value of impeachment information may depend on innumerable variables that primarily come into play at trial and therefore arguably make it less than critical information in entering a guilty plea, the same cannot be said of exculpatory information, which is special not just in relation to the fairness of a trial but also in relation to whether a guilty plea is valid and accurate. For this reason, the due-process calculus also Weighs in favor of the added safeguard of requiring the State to disclose material exculpatory information before the defendant enters a guilty plea ... [A] right- to exculpatory information before entering a guilty plea diminishes the possibility that innocent persons accused of crimes will plead guilty.... In turn, the adverse impact on the government of an obligation to provide exculpatory information is not as significant as the impact of an obligation to provide impeachment information. And importantly, the added safeguard comports with the prosecution’s “special role ... in the search for truth.””
