United States Seventh Circuit

In a gang-related murder case, the prosecution's nondisclosure of a plea agreement regarding an unrelated, brutal beating committed by the testifying gang member was not a Brady violation; disclosure of this agreement, one of many, would have provided little additional impeachment benefit. Denial of the habeas petition is affirmed.
