“The Truth Will Always Come Out: Prosecutorial Misconduct, Brady Violations, and Lack of Justice in Oklahoma” particularly focuses on the failure to disclose exculpatory evidence as required by the landmark Brady v. Maryland ruling, in Oklahoma criminal trials.
According to OK Appleseed, the report reveals systemic failures that resulted in numerous wrongful convictions.
