062582P.pdf 06/19/2007 Ryan M. Pederson v. Joan Fabian
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2582
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman Circuit Judge, and
Nangle, District Judge]
Prisoner Case - habeas. Substituted opinion. Minnesota courts did not
apply Brady and other case law in an unreasonable manner when it found
that failure to provide Pederson with a copy of a summary of a witness's
testimony was not a Brady violation; in its entirety, the prosecutor's
closing argument was not such that it so infected the trial with
unfairness as to make it a violation of Pederson's due process rights;
there was viable evidence to show Pederson was denied the presumption of
innocence during the jury's deliberations.
