United States Ninth Circuit
Maxwell v. Roe, 06-56093
In a murder prosecution, the denial of petitioner's habeas petition is reversed where: 1) a state witness's false testimony was material and its inclusion undermined confidence in the judgment of the jury; and 2) the state court could not have reasonably determined that the suppressed evidence relating to the deal the witness received from the state and his prior cooperation with law enforcement as an informant was not material.
