1. “A prosecutor’s presentation of known false evidence, allowed to go uncorrected, is a violation of a defendant’s right to due process. The State has a duty to correct any false evidence which in any reasonable likelihood could affect the jury’s decision. However, if the evidence is inconsistent or contradictory, rather than a knowing falsehood, such contradictions in the State’s evidence are for the jury to consider and resolve.”
