2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]hen the trial court found that the evidence of guilt was so overwhelming that the verdict would have been the same without [the witness’] testimony, the fact of the alleged false testimony relating to [the witness’] academic credentials was not material to the outcome of the case. From our review of the record we cannot say the trial judge was in error, and thus there was no abuse of discretion.”
