Does the state violate a criminal defendant's right to a fair trial when it solicits false evidence?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hayes v. Brown, 399 F.3d 972 (9th Cir. 2005):
In addition, the state violates a criminal defendant's right to due process of law when, although not soliciting false evidence, it allows false evidence to go uncorrected when it appears. See Alcorta v. Texas, 355 U.S. 28, 78 S.Ct. 103, 2 L.Ed.2d 9 (1957); Pyle v. Kansas, 317 U.S. 213, 63 S.Ct. 177, 87 L.Ed. 214 (1942).
