Case of the Day

Thompson v. Connick

A district attorney's office can be held civilly responsible for deliberate indifference to its obligation to train employees on their obligations under Brady v. Maryland. The Court held that withholding blood evidence that showed the defendant could not have committed a prior offense could be attributed to the policies and procedures of the entire office, rather than simply the unanticipated action of a single rogue prosecutor.
