Riddle v. Ozmint

We granted certiorari to consider a post-conviction relief (PCR) order denying relief to petitioner, a death row inmate. We find the solicitor’s office violated Brady v. Maryland 1 when it suppressed certain evidence involving witness Jason Riddle (Jason), and that that office violated petitioner’s due process rights when it failed to correct misstatements made by Jason while testifying against petitioner. See Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 79 S.Ct. 1173, 3 L.Ed.2d 1217 (1959). The PCR order denying petitioner relief is reversed, and the matter remanded for further proceedings.
