Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on December 6, 2010.

Docket No.10-443
Op. Below9th Circuit

Issue

Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d), was a state court's exclusion of proffered hearsay evidence of alleged third-party culpability an “unreasonable application"? of any constitutional rule “clearly established”? by Supreme Court precedent when the evidence did not show that anyone else had confessed to the crime and the state court had excluded the evidence after evaluating its reliability?
