Pharoah Gerald Ashley v. Minnesota
IFP petition · Court of Appeals of Minnesota, No. A23-1498 · judgment October 20, 2025
Question presented
Whether the Minnesota Court of Appeals violated the Due Process clause of the fourteenth Amendment by not upholding or understanding, the duty and responsibility to correct known false testimony falls on representatives of the state not defense counsel. Whether a state court unreasonably applies clearly established Federal Law when it permits its state prosecution to avoid its Constitutional obligation and stay silent in the face of known false testimony. Contrary to this court’s holdings in; Nanue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264 (1959) Giglio v. UNITED STATES, 405 U.S. 150 (1972) Glossip v. Oklahoma, 604 U.S. 226 (2025) Ashley 1
