Brady-Listed Cop: Coming Clean Would've Been a Crime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKIXPTq-z9E LawNerds Unite A Brady list is a record maintained by prosecutors that tracks law enforcement officers who have a history of misconduct—such as lying, falsifying reports, or tampering with evidence—that can damage their credibility in court. Origin and Legal Meaning The Brady Doctrine: The name comes from the landmark 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, which ruled that prosecutors must hand over all exculpatory (favorable) evidence to a criminal defendant. Impeachment Evidence: This rule includes sharing information that could impeach, or challenge, the truthfulness and reliability of a police witness. Giglio Connection: These lists are sometimes called Giglio lists, following another Supreme Court case (Giglio v. United States) that confirmed prosecutors must disclose anything affecting a witness's credibility.
