Brady information: Information known or possessed by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department that is both favorable and material to the current prosecution or defense of a criminal defendant. In a landmark decision, Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), the United States Supreme Court held that the prosecution has an affirmative duty to disclose to the defendant evidence which is both favorable and material to the guilt and/or punishment of the defendant. Such evidence may either directly impact the issue of guilt or innocence or impeach, i.e., undermine the credibility of a prosecution witness.
