United States First Circuit
Abram v. Gerry, 09-1820
On a petition for a writ of habeas corpus brought by a prisoner convicted of sexual assault against his stepchildren, arguing that the state trial court violated his rights under the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause by prohibiting him from cross-examining his stepchildren regarding their accusations that he had also abused their younger siblings, the district court's denial of the petition is affirmed, where the state supreme court's decision affirming the trial court was not an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
