According to Jackson, the prosecution concealed information concerning a crucial witness during the course of the trial, and as a result,

the court should have found in favour of an Ohio death row convict over this claim.

In her first opinion since entering office over the summer, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson objected to the Supreme Court's choice not to support the claim of an Ohio death row inmate.

Jackson argued that Davel Chinn, who was convicted of killing a man in Dayton, Ohio, in 1989 during a robbery, should have won the case.

He was joined in this argument by fellow liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The court, however, dismissed Chinn's appeal.

Prosecutors, according to Chinn's attorneys, withheld information showing that a crucial witness, Marvin Washington, had an extremely low IQ of 48. Chinn was recognised by Washington as the shooter.

Jackson expressed his disagreement with the court's ruling that Chinn's assertion that there was "no debate" that the state had withheld material that would have weakened Washington's credibility as a witness was upheld in a dissenting opinion.

Brady v. Maryland, a Supreme Court decision from 1963, states that this type of behaviour can be a violation of due process.

Jackson said that a February decision in favour of the state by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati did not adequately consider whether the evidence pertaining to Washington had an impact on the verdict at trial.
