Pfeifer, J.,
concurring in judgment only.
{¶ 22} Based on the federal court’s observations and the lengthy description of the details of the Brady claim in Broom’s brief, I find his claim completely lacking in merit. I am nonetheless concerned that this court focuses more attention on the process by which Broom raises his claim than on the merits of his claim. Were the process problems the same as described in the majority opinion, but his claim on the merits worthy, I would be prepared to return the case to the trial court for a hearing on the merits. As it is, there is no sound reason to allow Broom to proceed with his Brady claim because it is clearly not meritorious. Accordingly, I concur in judgment only.
