Does Attorney General Jeff Sessions have any grounds to dismiss an indictment based on alleged Giglio violation?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sessions, 41 F.3d 1514 (9th Cir. 1994):
Sessions next claims the district court erred in failing to dismiss the indictment based on an alleged Giglio violation. We must determine whether the prosecution withheld evidence relevant to the credibility of a government witness and, if so, whether there's a reasonable probability disclosure would have changed the outcome of the trial. See Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 154 (1972).
