Davis v. State

by
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant of strangulation of a household member, in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. 6-2-509(a)(i). The court held (1) contrary to Defendant’s argument on appeal, the prosecutor did not commit misconduct by withholding exculpatory information from the defense in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); and (2) the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to sustain Defendant’s conviction of strangulation of a household member because there was sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that pressure was applied to the victim’s throat or neck and that any bodily injury was caused by impeding breathing or circulation.
