Appeals, Criminal Law

MATTER SENT BACK TO RECONSTRUCT THE RECORD ABOUT POSSIBLE BRADY MATERIAL THAT WAS TO BE REVIEWED BY THE JUDGE, CURRENT RECORD IS SILENT ON THE ISSUE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department sent the matter back for a hearing to reconstruct the record as to what, if any, material was provided to the court for in camera review. Defendant alleged statements which constituted Brady material were to be given to the judge for a determination whether the material should be provided to the defense. But the record gave no indication what the materials were:

On appeal, the defendant argues that the failure to disclose the requested material constituted a Brady violation. The People were unable to provide to this Court any material they provided to the trial court for in camera review. They indicate that they have no record in their files of what material may have been submitted to the trial court. The People assert that, nevertheless, the defendant's Brady claim is based on matter dehors the record, and thus cannot be reviewed on direct appeal. However, to the extent that material was produced to the trial court for in camera review, it is properly part of the record, and the defendant's Brady claim would thus be reviewable on direct appeal. Under these circumstances, we deem it appropriate to remit the matter for a hearing to reconstruct the record as to what, if any, material was provided to the trial court for in camera review … , and thereafter to report to this Court with all convenient speed. The appeal is held in abeyance in the interim, and we do not decide any other issues at this time. People v DeFelice, 2018 NY Slip Op 05781, Second Dept 8-15-18
