What is the test for overturning a conviction for sexual assault?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Rowland, 826 F.3d 100 (2nd Cir. 2016):
defendant need not show that the suppressed evidence would have resulted in an acquittal. See Youngblood v. West Virginia , 547 U.S. 867, 870, 126 S.Ct. 2188, 165 L.Ed.2d 269 (2006) (per curiam). Rather, a conviction must be reversed upon a showing that the favorable evidence could reasonably be taken to put the whole case in such a different light as to undermine confidence in the verdict. Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).
