Eleven years later Chief Justice Burger, writing for the majority in Giglio v. United States, said, “When the reliability of a given witness may well be determinative of guilt or innocence, nondisclosure of evidence affecting credibility falls within this general rule.” The general rule he was referring to was exculpatory disclosure announced in Brady v. Maryland.

An officer who has been proved to have lied during a disciplinary investigation, or in any other context, will be placed on a Brady list which is then provided to prosecutors. If an officer on the list is scheduled to testify in a case, a prosecutor will be notified by the agency so that the appropriate disclosure can be made. However, despite the half-century since the Brady decision the concept of Brady lists is of more recent vintage, dating back only about fifteen years. https://www.policeone.com/legal/articles/dont-destroy-your-career-the-brady-list-and-the-ruinous-impact-of-a-lie-N8hzrj6qsZxZZPbe/
