United States v. Williams 504 U.S. 36 (1992)

“Respondent Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury for alleged violations of 18 U.S.C. 1014. On his motion, the District Court ordered the indictment dismissed without prejudice because the Government had failed to fulfill its obligation under Circuit precedent to present “substantial exculpatory evidence” to the grand jury. Following that precedent, the Court of Appeals affirmed.”

You omitted that fact that the Supreme Court REVERSED the judgment of the Court of Appeals.

A lie by omission is still a lie.

Not sure about ny state rules of criminal procedure. Your cite is a fed case. Fed rules require substantial exculpatory evidence to be admitted if known.
