United States v. Bagley

Holding used

Impeachment evidence is favorable evidence, and nondisclosed evidence is material when a reasonable probability of a different result is sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome; the formulation covers no-request, general-request, and specific-request cases.

Material limitation

The opinion contains separate writings. The module relies on the materiality formulation adopted by the controlling combination identified in the decision and later applied by Kyles.
