Heading: 3. Failure to Correct Nissen's Testimony

Text: Even assuming that Nissen's omissions constitute perjury that the prosecution failed to correct, the same standard applies to the failure to correct perjured testimony as applies to the failure to disclose evidence. See Swartz v. State, 506 N.W.2d 792 (Iowa App.1993). See, also, U.S. v. O'Keefe, 128 F.3d 885 (5th Cir.1997), cert. denied ___ U.S. ___, 118 S.Ct. 1525, 140 L.Ed.2d 676 (1998). Accordingly, if no reversal is required under Brady v. Maryland, supra , then no reversal is required under Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 79 S.Ct. 1173, 3 L.Ed.2d 1217 (1959), which is relied upon by Lotter.
