Brady v. Maryland also brought about the term 'Brady-Dead,' which means if you are found to be untruthful you are no longer credible and your career will end.

• A. Sometimes
• B. False
• C. True
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is understanding what Brady v. Maryland actually governs. Brady v. Maryland requires prosecutors to disclose exculpatory evidence to the defense to protect due process. It does not establish a term like “Brady-Dead” or say that a witness who is found untruthful automatically ends their career. When a witness lies or is untruthful, credibility can be attacked through impeachment processes (for example, exposing prior inconsistent statements or other impeaching evidence), and there may be separate professional or legal consequences, but that outcome is not dictated by Brady. So the claim described is not accurate.
