Jesus Eric Carasco v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 25-2010 · judgment March 19, 2026
Question presented
Whether a federal court may reject a claim, presented in Rule 33 proceedings, that the Government suppressed favorable evidence undermining an alleged confession on the grounds that the evidence is "merely impeaching" and would not probably produce acquittal, without applying Brady's reasonable-probability standard to that evidence in the context of the trial record.
