Dennis Riley v. Ohio
FifthAmendment JusticiabilityDoctri
1. Whether the court of appeals erroneously ruled that a defendant is not entitled to impeachment or exculpatory evidence if he pleads guilty at any stage of the proceeding, even after receiving discovery.
2. Whether the trial court below, after admitting evidence is impeachment evidence, erroneously held that Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963), does not require impeachment evidence to be disclosed to the defense during discovery.
3. Whether the trial court below erroneously held that evidence of a personal and potentially intimate relationship between the only investigative officer and accuser in a criminal case is not evidence that is materially exculpatory for the defense and therefore is not required to be disclosed during discovery.
4. Whether the trial court below erroneously held multiple internal investigations conducted by the police and sheriff's departments into the only investigative officer's conduct, character, and participation in alleged criminal activity is not materially exculpatory for the defense and therefore is not required to be disclosed during discovery.
5. Whether the court of appeals incorrectly stated that the petitioner did not claim that the suppressed evidence was exculpatory.
