4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Viewing the record as a whole we conclude that the jury’s verdict might have been different had it known the full extent of Miller’s motivation to testify against Campbell. As we observed in United States v. Sutton, 542 F. 2d 1239, 1243 (4th Cir. 1976), “here the prosecution allowed a false impression to be created at trial when the truth would have directly impugned the veracity of its key witness.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[A] tentative promise of leniency might be interpreted by a witness as contingent upon the nature of his testimony. Thus, there would be a greater incentive for the witness to try to make his testimony pleasing to the prosecutor.”
