122893P.pdf   08/02/2013  United States  v.  Alvin Clay
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2893
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - habeas. Assuming, without deciding that the Government 
   used perjured testimony in obtaining Clay's conviction and knew or should 
   have know it was perjured, his allegation of error is an allegation of a 
   trial error and not a structural error and must be evaluated under the 
   harmless-error standard; applying the harmless-error standard, the claimed 
   false testimony could not have actually prejudiced the jury's verdict in 
   light of the overall strength of the government's case and the fact that 
   the witness was thoroughly impeached at trial
