This is known as the Brady Rule, established by the Supreme Court in Brady v. Maryland (1963). It requires prosecutors to disclose any evidence that is favorable to the defendant, even if the prosecutor does not intend to use it at trial. Failure to disclose such evidence violates the defendant's constitutional right to a fair trial and due process.
