Text: Although Allen points out minor inconsistencies in Brady’s testimony at pretrial proceedings, at Allen’s trial, at another trial, and at Brady’s deposition, Allen fails to establish that Brady’s testimony at Allen’s trial was untruthful. Indeed, Brady has testified consistently as to the material facts. In People v. Marshall, for example, Brady testified that Allen asked Brady and Hamilton to kill some people who had testified against him. 13 Cal. 4th 799 (1996). Then in his deposition, Brady again confirmed that Allen offered to pay Brady and Hamilton for killing the witnesses to the former proceeding. Brady’s trial testimony was also subjected to substantial impeaching evidence, such as Brady’s substance abuse problem, prior felony convictions, blackouts, agreements with prosecutors by which charges were dropped against Brady and his wife in exchange for Brady’s testimony, and his admission to the witness protection program. Inconsistencies between Brady’s direct testimony at trial and his preliminary hearing testimony were also pointed out to the jury. Allen fails to establish either that Brady’s testimony was false or that the State had any reason to believe it was false.
