Davis v. Alaska

Sup. Ct. Alaska. Motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari granted limited to Question 1 presented by the petition which reads as follows:

“Did the trial court err in not permitting cross examination of chief identification witness Green concerning the nature of his juvenile record to bring before the jury the fact that Green was himself on probation for burglary at the time of the identification, thereby denying petitioner his Sixth Amendment right to confrontation?”
