Opinion

Submitted July 8, 1974

Decided July 15, 1974


Motion to amend remittitur granted. Return of remittitur requested and, when returned, it will be amended by adding thereto the following: Upon the appeal herein there was presented and necessarily passed upon the following question under the Constitution of the United States, viz.: Whether the rights of defendant under the Fourteenth Amendment were violated. Defendant contended that the trial court and the prosecuting Assistant District Attorney failed to correct knowingly false testimony by a material witness for the People who had lied when he testified that he had no reason to expect leniency regarding a charge then pending against him in exchange for his testimony at appellant's trial. The Court of Appeals considered this contention and held that there was no violation of defendant's constitutional rights.
