United States Fifth Circuit

The denial of Petitioner's habeas petition in a capital murder case is affirmed, where an expert witness who testified for the state had no duty to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), because he was not a member of the prosecution team.
