Questions presented
-
Was the conviction obtained through the use of what the Solicitor knew, or should have known to be false testimony, and did the Solicitor fail to correct the false testimony when it occurred, in violation of the petitioner's constitutional rights under the 14th USCA?
-
Was Petitioner's right to confront all witnesses against him as guaranteed by the 6th USCA violated by testimony of what the grandmother of the alleged victim had said, and by the testimony of Tony Collins saying what the solicitor had said and by no one calling the grandmother or the solicitor to the stand for cross examination even though they were available at the trial and there was no prior opportunity to cross examine her?
-
Was Defense counsel ineffective by not being familiar with discovery and failing to interview important witnesses. Violating petitioner's constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel under the 6th USCA?
