DISP-REMAND FOR TRIAL
|
|
FSC-OPINION: Because we conclude that the Brady violation undermines confidence in the outcome of the trial, we reverse the denial of postconviction relief as to the guilt phase, vacate Simpson's convictions for first-degree murder, and remand to the trial court for a new trial. In light of the vacation of the convictions and remand for a new trial, Simpson's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, raising claims of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, is dismissed as moot.
It is so ordered.
