State v. Hunter

Supreme Court of South Carolina December 4, 1989

State v. Hunter, 300 S.C. 83 (S.C. 1989)

386 S.E.2d 460; 1989 S.C. LEXIS 232

Chandler, Finney, Gregory, Harwell, Toal

Opinion of the Court

Chandler, Justice:

*84Appellant Roy F. Hunter (Hunter) contends the State failed to produce certain evidence required by Brady v. Maryland.1 We agree.

Prior to the call of the case, Hunter filed a Brady motion. During trial, it was revealed that the State had not disclosed all information to which he was entitled. The State’s failure to comply with Brady mandates reversal and a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.

Gregory, C. J., and Harwell, Finney and Toal, JJ., concur.

373 U. S. 83, 83 S. Ct., 1194, 10 L. Ed (2d) 215 (1963).
