Whether the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal failed to correctly apply clearly established federal law as announced by this Court when it held that the prosecutors' failure to disclose the federal conviction for lying of its only eyewitness did not undermine confidence in the jury's verdict

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Over fifty years ago, in Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1965) and then in Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), this Court declared that prosecutors must disclose all impeachment evidence concerning a prosecution witness to the defense. The Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office has never contested that it failed to inform Kuantau Reeder’s trial counsel that its star witness, whose credibility was critical to convicting Mr. Reeder of second degree murder, had a federal conviction for lying. The following question is presented: In a murder prosecution in which the Orleans Parish : District Attorney’s Office presented no scientific evidence, no video evidence, no motive evidence, no incriminating state. ments and no physical evidence linked to the defendant, did the Louisiana Fourth Circuit of Appeal fail to correctly apply clearly established federal law as announced by this Court when it held that the prosecutors’ failure to disclose the federal for lying of its only eyewitness did not undermine confidence in the jury’s verdict? Petitioner Kuantau Reeder respectfully requests that this Court issue a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal which the Untied States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to reverse. ii
