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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The United States Supreme Court has held that the suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to an accused upon request violates due process where the evidence is material either to guilt or to punishment, irrespective of the good faith or bad faith of the prosecution. Brady v. Maryland, supra, 373 U.S. at 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194 ; State v. Walker, 214 Conn. 122 , 126, 571 A.2d 686 (1990). To prevail on a Brady claim, the defendant bears a heavy burden to establish: (1) that the prosecution suppressed evidence; (2) that the evidence was favorable to the defense; and (3) that it was material.... State v. Burke, 51 Conn.App. 328 , 333, 723 A.2d 327 (1998), cert. denied, 248 Conn. 901 , 732 A.2d 177 (1999).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Evidence that is not disclosed is suppressed for Brady purposes even when it is known only to police investigators and not to the prosecutor.... In addition, evidence is favorable if it is either exculpatory or impeaching.... Finally, evidence is material if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different.”
