State v. Birdshead
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter, commission of a felony with a firearm, and possession of a controlled weapon. Defendant appealed, arguing, inter alia, that the State committed a violation of Brady v. Maryland when it denied Defendant access to certain records. The Supreme Court issued a limited remand to determine whether a Brady violation occurred in this case and to include the records in the record. On remand, the circuit court concluded that the State committed no Brady violation as it pertained to the challenged records. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court did not err when it concluded that the State committed no Brady violation; and (2) the circuit court did not err in determining that Defendant was not entitled to a new trial related to the subject records.
