Brady Disclosure Obligations in the Digital Age

The Brady v. Maryland standard was established in 1963, but its application to modern digital evidence -- particularly video -- raises questions that most prosecutors and defense attorneys are still grappling with. This webinar examines how Brady obligations apply when evidence exists as terabytes of surveillance footage, body camera video, and digital metadata.

We explore recent case law where courts have addressed the scope of disclosure for video evidence, including situations where prosecutors claimed footage was "not material" despite containing exculpatory content. You will learn how to draft targeted preservation requests, challenge selective disclosure, and use technology to verify that you have received everything you are entitled to.

The session also covers Giglio material in the context of video -- how to identify impeachment evidence buried in officer BWC footage, dashcam recordings, and institutional surveillance systems.
