United States Third Circuit
Brown v. Superintendent Greene SCI, 14-2655
In a habeas corpus action, the district court's denial of the petition is reversed and the case remanded where the trial prosecutor violated Bruton v. US, 391 U.S. 123 (1968), by identifying defendant as 'the other guy' in closing argument for a non-testifying, jointly tried co-defendant's trial after the trial court had redacted information from the co-defendant's confession implicating defendant Brown.
