Heading: Bull Coming's Background

Text: ¶ 31 Petitioner also contends that the State failed to disclose information regarding Bull Coming's allegedly violent background, false statements, long standing racial prejudice, contradictions in her testimony, failure to abide by her plea agreement conditions, and deception and manipulation. However, with the exception of Diane Bull Coming's attack on Roy Dean Bull Coming and a note Diane Bull Coming passed to Petitioner while at the Custer County Jail, Petitioner has not directed our attention to any evidence in the record which would indicate that the State was aware of this information prior to or during his trial and intentionally or inadvertently suppressed it. Moreover, this evidence has no favorable exculpatory value with regard to Petitioner's guilt or innocence. For instance, information concerning Bull Coming's background does not tend to disprove that Petitioner drove the car in which Etchemendy was held and robbed. Petitioner has also not explained how any of this evidence might have been used at the time of his trial to impeach Bull Coming.
