RICHARD A. NICOLAS v. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND; RICHARD GRAHAM, Warden,
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Motz, Apr. 27, 2016,
AEDPA – Brady – Denial of Brady relief by MD Courts was not so unreasonable as to require reversal under AEDPA where the witnesses stated that they heard a noise like a car backfiring at the same time the defendant argued that he was shot at.
AEDPA – On review under AEDPA, federal courts “cannot disturb the state court’s ruling simply because it is incorrect; it must also be unreasonable”
