Opinion
This appeal from the granting of a writ of habeas corpus presents the question whether a person convicted by a state’s knowing use of coerced testimony obtained by torture, threats and abuse of a witness is in custody in violation of his Constitutional right to due process of law. We answer this question in the affirmative and affirm the judgment of the District Court for the reasons stated in its opinion reported at 354 F.Supp. 1331.
Affirmed.
