United States Sixth Circuit

In a conviction for kidnapping and murder, denial of petition for habeas corpus is affirmed where: 1) the witnesses to which the undisclosed evidence pertained had already been impeached by the defense; 2) much of the evidence was just as inculpatory as exculpatory; 3) the cumulative effect of the evidence indicated that the undisclosed evidence was not material; and 4) petitioner did not show there was a "reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceedings would have been different".
