Most-quoted passages
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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the State either has in its actual possession or has access to the F.B.I. criminal records of witnesses for the prosecution, Brady, of course, would mandate disclosure of those records to a defendant who requests them; otherwise the State could purposely withhold such records from the defendant in order to prevent him from using them to challenge the veracity of the State’s witnesses. Such a possibility would be manifestly unfair and could not be permitted. In the instant case, the State contends that it did not have access to the F.B.I. criminal records requested by defendant. We find nothing in the record to refute that contention. Therefore, we find no error in the Trial Judge’s denial of defendants’ request for production.”
