Anthony William Beeson v. Christopher Pierce, Warden
• If police confiscate exculpatory evidence, is the prosecution required
to disclose it under Brady? .
• If the lead investigator hides evidence in a discreet personal location,
and does not disclose it until after trial, is that a Brady violation?.
• If the court denies relief for the Brady violation by stating it was
"Ineffective Assistance", can they later claim it's not ineffective without
admitting it's Brady?.
• If trial counsel is aware of existing exculpatory evidence in the possession
of police, and fails to pursue and retrieve for defense. Is this lack of
due diligence deficient performance?. Is it ineffective assistance?.
Whether police confiscation of exculpatory evidence without disclosure constitutes a Brady violation, and whether trial counsel's failure to pursue such evidence constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel
