Johnny Ray Walls-Bey v. Arizona
IFP petition · Arizona Court of Appeals, No. 1 CA-CR 23-0556 · judgment November 7, 2024
Question presented
-
Where State Prosecutors knowingly used and failed to correct false sworn testimony in connection with the plea such as at the plea colloquy, in the factuabasis proffer and at sentencing, does this circumstance undermine the voluntariness of the plea agreement and fall under a duprocess violation announced in Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264 (1959), Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972) and Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 (1970).
-
Was The Arizona Superior Court who knowingly was aware that the plea agreement conviction was procured through fraud and dueprocess violations required to overturn the conviction as announced in Ferrara v. United States, 456 F.3d 278 (1st Cir. 2006).
