New Jersey S1434 eliminates immunity for state, county, and municipal prosecutors who fail to disclose exculpatory evidence in criminal cases.
New Jersey S1434 amends the State’s Tort Claims Act and Civil Rights Act to eliminate immunity for state, county, and municipal prosecutors who fail to disclose exculpatory evidence in criminal cases. The bill defines "Brady-Giglio guidelines" as any guidelines, directives, policies, or procedures promulgated by the Attorney General related to the disclosure of exculpatory and impeachment evidence in criminal cases. If a prosecutor fails to disclose such evidence in violation of these guidelines, the prosecutor is not immune from liability.
