Question presented
The question presented, which has divided fourteen federal courts of appeal and state high courts, is: Whether the Due Process Clause is violated when the prosecution relies on material, perjured testimony to secure a conviction but did not know the testimony was perjured until after the trial, as six courts have held, or whether the prosecution’s contemporaneous knowledge of the perjured testimony is required, as eight courts have held.
