Description: In 2001, Plaintiff was convicted on two counts of double attempted murder and robbery.

Police and prosecutors concealed the affidavit from Plaintiff for 21 years. Ion May 18, 2020, the convictions against Plaintiff were vacated. The judge found that the suppression of evidence violated Plaintiff’s constitutional Brady rights.
