002994P.pdf   08/13/2001  Leonard Berg  v.  Herbert Maschner
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-2994
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Prisoner case - habeas. Even if Berg's third confession was 
   coerced, its admission was harmless error in light of the 
   overwhelming evidence that he killed the police officer 
   victim; claim that attorney was ineffective in efforts to 
   suppress the third confession must fail in light of the court's 
   ruling on admission of the confession.
