The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Fundamental to any error based upon a violation of Brady is that appellant must prove that: (1) the [S]tate possessed evidence favorable to the defense, i.e., true Brady material; (2) the defense did not possess the evidence, nor could he obtain it himself with any reasonable diligence; (3) the prosecution suppressed the favorable evidence; (4) he was denied access to such evidence during trial; (5) the disclosure would have benefitted the defense by providing evidence for the defense or impeaching prior inconsistent statements; and (6) the denial deprived him of a fair trial, i.e., a reasonable probability exists that the outcome of the proceedings would have been different had disclosure been made.”
