John Robert Lee v. United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided January 26, 1968No. 21469_1PublishedCited by 28 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
MERRILL, Circuit Judge.
Appellant was convicted of bank robbery and has taken this appeal from judgment. The sole question presented is whether the District Court erred in denying motion for new trial sought by appellant upon the ground that the Government deliberately concealed evidence which might clearly have operated in his favor.
If there had been such concealment appellant’s right to due process had been violated and he was entitled to new trial. Brady v. State of Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963); Thomas v. United States, 343 F.2d 49 (9th Cir. 1965).
