If Not Revealed Until Trial That Victim Found Suspect on Social Media, Must New Trial Be Ordered?
State of Ohio v. Rickey Brown, Case No. 2022-1182
First District Court of Appeals (Hamilton County)

ISSUES:
- Based on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brady v. Maryland (1963), is a new trial required when a victim found the suspect on social media and that evidence isn't presented until trial?
- What makes someone a victim of a robbery? If a person owns the property that is stolen and the property owner is present when the property is stolen at gunpoint but the property was in the hands of another person, is the property owner a victim of robbery?
