OPINION
LUMPKIN, Presiding Judge:
T1 Appellant, Jackie Leland Wright, was tried by jury in the District Court of Tulsa County, Case No. CF-97-4687, and convicted of two counts of First Degree Murder (malice or, alternatively, felony murder), in violation of 21 0.8.1991, § 701.7. The jury recommended a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on both counts. The trial judge sentenced Appellant in accordance with this verdict and ordered the sentences to run consecutively,. Appellant now appeals his convictions and sentences.
2 On the morning of May 8, 1991, Tulsa firefighters received a report of a residential house fire. They converged on the scene and found a smoldering fire and two dead bodies. The victims, Coy and Tonya Wilkerson, had both been shot in the head.
[ 3 Investigators discovered phone lines at the back of the house had been cut and evidence of a robbery inside the home. The perpetrators had used an accelerant in an attempt to burn down the house and destroy incriminating evidence. The fire never caught fully due to the damp weather.
T4 Later that same evening, Vickie Holt saw two young men, later identified as Mah-lon Bastion and Appellant, attempting to burn some documents by a rural road near her house. She had a short confrontation with the young men regarding the dangers of lighting fires. The young men left, but Ms. Holt took down the tag number of their two door sedan. She gathered the charred items the young men had been burning and placed them in a shoe box. The charred items included a checkbook belonging to Coy and Tonya Wilkerson.
15 That same evening, Wagoner County Deputy Sheriff Douglas London pulled over two young men in a Monte Carlo for speeding. The driver was Mahlon Bastion, and the passenger was Appellant. Deputy London issued a warning and allowed the young men to go.
T6 On the day after the crime, Ms. Holt saw a television report about the murders and recognized the Wilkersons' names from the charred checkbook. She called the police. Detective Heim ran the tag number Ms. Holt gave to him and found a car registered to Mahlon Bastion that was only one number off.
[1150]*1150T7 Bastion was a former employee of Tulsa Expediting, Inc., where both Coy and Tonya Wilkerson worked. Tulsa Expediting, Inc. is owned by Tonya Wilkerson's father, Jim Phillips, and Bastion had been fired by Phillips in January of 1990. Bastion filed for unemployment, and the company opposed his claim. Bastion later told his wife he intended to get even with the Wilkersons by breaking into their building and then burning the evidence.
[ 8 The Tulsa police proceeded to Bastion's apartment, but Bastion refused to come outside. He began firing shots at the police. Bastion ultimately committed suicide with his 9 mm handgun.
T 9 Police then obtained a warrant for Appellant's arrest. When the police confronted him, Appellant spoke to them briefly and then fled. After a brief chase, he was tackled to the ground and placed in custody.
10 When questioned by police, Appellant, then 16, admitted he had been with Bastion on the night of the murders. He claimed he left Bastion at about eleven to twelve o'clock and rode around on his bike until 6 a.m. the following morning. He also admitted going for a ride with Bastion the next night and observing Bastion pull over to set some items on fire. Appellant thought this was "weird."
4 11 The physical evidence collected at the scene did not link Appellant to the crime. However, Pauline Neal testified that Appellant had admitted killing Tonya Wilkerson by putting a pillow over her face and shooting her.1 Appellant also told Neal he had taken a necklace off Tonya Wilkerson's neck and a ring from her finger, Charlene White testified that she heard Appellant speaking about the incident and say, "We went to rob a house but I didn't know anybody was going to get killed."2
[ 12 Perhaps the most damaging evidence came from Jason Poorboy, who was Appellant's close friend and also a friend and next-door neighbor of Bastion. Poorboy testified that Appellant and Bastion had asked him to rob an undisclosed residence in the days prior to the murder and that "if people were there, we'd have to kill them."3 Poorboy declined.4 Poorboy also testified that Appellant confessed to being the shooter in both murders.5 According to Poorboy, Appellant told him that Bastion's gun had jammed and so Appellant shot both victims. Poorboy claimed Appellant also said he shot the Wilk-ersons just to see what it felt like.6
118 In his first proposition of error, Appellant claims the State's delay in filing first degree murder charges against him until he was twenty three years old7 denied him his rights to be certified as a child under Oklahoma's reverse certification statute, 10 ©.S.1991, § 1104.28 Appellant claims this delay amounted to a violation of the fourteenth amendment's due process clause because it was an "arbitrary deprivation" of a reverse certification hearing. Underlying this proposition is an allegation, implied or otherwise, of a deliberate delay by the State in order to prejudice Appellant's rights. In other words, the State allegedly waited six and a half years to file this case for the sole purpose of avoiding the statutory protections afforded to juveniles. At one point Appellant also argues, without supporting authority, that a "presumption of prejudice should arise" when such a lengthy delay occurs.
[1151]*115114 We find no support in the record of any sort of deliberate, prejudicially-motivat-ed delay by the State in waiting to file charges against Appellant until October of 1997. The record clearly reflects the delay was based upon a lack of evidence and that murder charges were promptly filed when incriminating evidence was obtained.9 We do not find any legal support for Appellant's requested "presumption of prejudice" by mere delay in filing alone, and Appellant has not cited relevant authority to support such a presumption.10
115 Furthermore, this alleged deprivation was never raised at trial or in a pre-trial motion. There is no indication in the record that Appellant ever sought a reverse certification hearing until the instant appeal was filed. Our statutes place the burden to initiate reverse certification proceedings on the juvenile. Gilley v. State, 1992 OK CR 37, ¶ 5, 848 P.2d 578, 580.11 Had Appellant desired to preserve any possible error for appellate review, he should have filed a pre-trial motion to be transferred to the juvenile system prior to his preliminary hearing, pursuant to 10 0.98.1991, § 1104.2(C).12 However, no such request was ever made by Appellant or his counsel.
116 This proposition is essentially based upon conjecture and speculation of what might have happened if the State had immediately filed murder charges, if Appellant had requested reverse certification, and if a reverse certification hearing had been held. Failure to object with specificity to errors alleged to have occurred at trial, thus giving the trial court an opportunity to cure the error, waives that error for appellate review unless the error constitutes plain error. Simpson v. State, 1994 OK CR 40, ¶ 2, 876 P.2d 690, 698. Moreover, no judgment shall be set aside or new trial granted by this Court for error in a matter of procedure unless it is our opinion that the error complained of has probably resulted in a miscarriage of justice, or constitutes a substantial violation of a constitutional or statutory right. 20 0.8.1991, § 3001.1. Based upon the record and allegations before us, we cannot say plain error occurred or that Appellant was the recipient of a substantial violation of a constitutional or statutory right. This proposition is denied.
117 In his second proposition of error, Appellant alleges the prosecutors failed to disclose a plea agreement the State made with Jason Poorboy before he testified against Appellant. Appellant claims the State entered into a plea agreement that was contingent on Poorboy's "helpfulness," but never disclosed this agreement or its full nature to the defense. Appellant claims this practice violated discovery and due process, deprived Appellant of his right to confront Poorboy during cross-examination, and made Appellant's convictions inherently unreliable.
1 18 On November 24, 1998, Appellant filed a Motion for New Trial in which he asked the trial court to strike Poorboy's testimony in its entirety as violating his due process rights, The motion was premised upon the State's contacts with Jason Poorboy's attorney on the last day of discovery in the instant case and the dismissal of Poorboy's unrelated, pending felonies following Appellant's trial. Appellant's trial counsel did not cite any of the grounds listed in 22 0.98.1991, § 952 to support his motion. Presumably, the motion was based upon "newly discovered evidence, material to the defendant, and which he could not with reasonable diligence have discovered before the trial." See 22 0.8.1991, § 952(7).
[ 19 The trial court did not hold an eviden-tiary hearing regarding this issue, as contemplated by the statute, but disposed of it summarily at Appellant's sentencing hearing, after brief oral argument by counsel. (It appears the trial court did not have a copy of the motion prior to the sentencing hearing, as the same had been filed just one day prior thereto.) Appellant's trial counsel did not [1152]*1152specifically request an evidentiary hearing, however, but focused most of his attention on United States v. Singleton, 144 F.3d 1343 (10th Cir.1998), later overruled on rehearing en banc, 165 F.3d 1297 (10th Cir.1999).
1 20 In a related matter, Appellant filed an Application to File Supplemental Brief in this Court, based upon our decision in Dodd v. State, 2000 OK CR 2, 993 P.2d 778. Therein, Appellant claims a supplemental brief is nee-essary because Dodd represents "new authority on issues previously raised" (proposition two of his appellate brief) and because Dodd decided an "issue of first impression" after the filing of Appellant's brief in chief. See Rule 84(F), Rules of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Title 22, Ch. 18 App. (2000). With respect to the "new authority on issues previously raised," Appellant points out that his appellate brief relied on the original Dodd opinion, Dodd v. State, 1999 OK CR 29, 9/4/99 O.B.J. Vol. 70, No. 31, 2382 (Okl.Cr.1999), which this Court later vacated and withdrew from publication.13 That being so, we hereby grant leave for the filing of Appellant's Supplemental Brief, to the extent that it addresses issues previously raised in Appellant's appellate brief. However, Appellant also seeks to present a new proposition of error in this appeal, e. retroactive application of Dodd's procedural guidelines, because Dodd decided an "issue of first impression." To the extent that Appellant's Supplemental Brief raises new propositions of error, his Application to File Supplemental Brief is denied because it was untimely-filed under Rule 8.4, i.e., more than thirty days after Dodd's publication (January 6, 2000). Consequently, this Court will not consider portions of Appellant's Supplemental Brief raising new propositions or requesting new relief.
121 In response to the claims raised in proposition two, the motion for new trial, and Appellant's Supplemental Brief, this Court entered an Order Remanding For Evidentia-ry Hearing on August 24, 2000. Therein, this Court ruled:
Dodd's holding is not applicable to this proceeding. First, Dodd's procedural discovery requirements do not apply retrospectively to Appellant's trial, which was held a year and three months prior to the time Dodd was handed down. Secondly, Dodd's holding applies only to "jailhouse informants' Within the Dodd context, Poorboy does not qualify as a jailhouse informant.
We then explained that "the perceived danger addressed in Dodd was the incarcerated individual who might prey on an unsuspecting incarcerated defendant by obtaining incriminating statements the informant might use to benefit himself/herself." In other words, the Court in Dodd sought to deal with the "professional jailhouse informant," ie., an informant who repeatedly testified on behalf of the State against fellow inmates in order to obtain leniency. In this case, Appellant's statements to Poorboy were not made while he was incarcerated, and his statements were made both prior to and after the murders. Our Order thus found the "fact Poorboy was in jail on unrelated charges at the time he gave his statement to police does not make him a jailhouse informant within the Dodd context."
122 Nevertheless, in our Order Remanding for Evidentiary Hearing, we recognized that, despite Dodd's inapplicability:
[Dlue process requires the State to disclose exculpatory and impeachment evidence favorable to an accused. See United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 105 S.Ct. 3375, 87 L.Ed.2d 481 (1985), Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 92 S.Ct. 763, 31 L.Ed.2d [104] (1972), Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) and Napue v. Illinois, 360 U.S. 264, 79 S.Ct. 1173, 8 L.Ed.2d 1217 (1959). Therefore, where there is evidence of bad faith on the part of the State by the deliberate concealment of a deal to be consummated in the future, due process may be implicated. In such cases, a court should look at the materiality of the non-disclosed information and ask if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been [1153]*1153different. Bagley, 473 U.S. at 682, 105 S.Ct. at 3383; Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 263, 119 S.Ct. 1936, 1948, 144 L.Ed.2d 286 (1999); see also 22 O.S.1991, § 952 (discussing verdicts rendered against a defendant in which substantial rights have been prejudiced.)
In the instant case, Appellant raised his allegations of an undisclosed agreement between the government and a material witness in his motion for new trial. This is the proper procedure to use with allegations of this type. However, Appellant's motion was subsequently summarily overruled by the trial court, with an exception granted. As a result, we have no evidence in the record to support Appellant's allegations or the trial court's ruling. Such evidence is contemplated by 22 0.8.1991, § 952(7). Moreover, the trial court did not rule on the materiality of the factual allegations within Appellant's motion for new trial or address its prejudicial effect, if any, on the verdict.
Thus, due to the unique facts and factual allegations of this case, along with the unusual legal circumstances presented, i.e., the publication, withdrawal, and issuance of new opinions in both Singleton and Dodd during the pendency of this appeal, we found the interest of justice entitled Appellant to an evidentiary hearing on his claims, pursuant to Rule 8.11, Rules of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Title 22, Ch.18 (2000). We listed six questions to be resolved at the evidentiary hearing: (1) Did the State enter into an undisclosed agreement with Jason Poorboy with respect to the testimony he would give at Appellant's trial? (2) If so, what was the nature of that agreement? (8) Did the prosecution willfully or inadvertently withhold exculpatory or impeachment evidence favorable to Appellant, relating to the testimony of Jason Poorboy? (4) Prior to Appellant's trial, did the prosecution fully intend to offer a "deal" to Poorboy if he testified favorably to the State? (5) were Appellant's substantial rights prejudiced by the prosecution's actions in relation to Jason Poorboy? and (6) any other matter deemed relevant to this inquiry by the trial court.
23 The evidentiary hearing was held on September 26 and 27, 2000 before The Honorable Jesse S. Harris, District Judge, Tulsa County. The trial judge announced his findings of fact and conclusions of law on October 20, 2000 and the same were filed in this Court on November 80, 2000. The trial judge ruled as follows:
1. The State of Oklahoma did not enter into an undisclosed agreement with Jason Poorboy with respect to the testimony he would give at the trial of the Defendant. Both of the State prosecutors (Mark Collier and John Heil) that tried the Defendant's case denied making an offer of a specific agreement to Jason Poorboy and/or his lawyer. Both of the prosecutors had no idea what kind of sentence Jason Poorboy would receive for his testimony until after the trial of the Defendant was completed. Both Jason Poorboy and his lawyer, Peter Brangaccio, have denied there was even a discussion of a specific agreement between themselves and the two prosecutors as an incentive for Mr. Poorboy's testimony against the Defendant.
2, Since there was not an undisclosed agreement between the State prosecutors and Jason Poorboy this Court is obviously unable to described the nature of a nonexistent agreement.
3. The prosecution did not willfully or inadvertently withhold exculpatory or impeachment evidence favorable to the Defendant, relating to the testimony of Jason Poorboy. The testimony at the evidentia-ry hearing held by this Court indicates the Defendant's lawyers were informed of the bond increase and the bond reduction on Jason Poorboy prior to the trial of the Defendant. The testimony from the evi-dentiary hearing also indicates Mr. Wallace, a lawyer for the Defendant, knew everything the prosecutors knew relating to discussions of consideration between the prosecutors and the lawyer for Jason Poorboy and/or specifically between the prosecutors and Jason Poorboy. Finally, the Defendant suggests the availability of Mr. Poorboy's lawyer, Peter Brangaceio, could have been useful for impeachment purposes at trial. This Court finds the unavailability of Jason Poorboy's lawyer for testimony on behalf of the Defendant is also not a willful or inadvertent act of [1154]*1154withholding impeachment evidence on the part of the State prosecutors.
4, Based upon the testimony of the evi-dentiary hearing, the Court finds the State prosecutors did fully intend to offer a deal to Jason Poorboy if he testified favorably for the State. It is clear from the testimony of both State prosecutors, Mr. Collier and Mr. Heil, that Jason Poorboy would receive consideration if he testified to what they believed to be the truth. Additionally, Peter Brangaccio, the lawyer for Mr. Poorboy, testified Assistant District Attorney Mark Collier had told him if Jason Poorboy testified truthfully, it would be taken into consideration.
5. The Court finds substantial rights of Jackie Leland Wright were not prejudiced by the prosecutions' actions in this case. The defense lawyers were notified prior to the Defendant's trial that the prosecution had talked to Jason Poorboy. The defense lawyers were made aware of Jason Poorboy's bond increase and bond reduction prior to the Defendant's trial The defense lawyers were informed by the State prosecutors of the discussions of consideration that had taken place with Jason Poorboy and/or his lawyer prior to Mr. Poorboy's testimony at the Defendant's trial. The testimony from the evidentiary hearing held by this Court clearly indicates the lawyers for the Defendant were informed prior to trial of every conversation between the prosecution and Jason Poorboy or his lawyer that related to any deal, consideration, or cooperation. The only exception to this finding is that the Court does determine the State prosecutors did not inform the lawyers for the Defendant as to the manner in which discussions of consideration were initiated by the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office with the lawyer for Mr. Poorboy.
6. Based upon the testimony and the exhibits admitted during the evidentiary hearing and the findings and conclusions previously stated, this Court finds the verdicts at trial are not rendered suspect nor were the trial proceedings unreliable. Therefore it is this Court's decision the Defendant has not met his burden of proof and the Court will deny the Defendant's request for new trial.
Appellant has since filed a Supplemental Brief on Remand with this Court. The State was given the opportunity to respond, but inexplicably declined.
{24 To support his claims in this proposition, Appellant points to the following facts taken from the record, relating to Jason Poorboy: Poorboy was contacted on numerous occasions by State authorities and denied having knowledge about Appellant's involvement in the murders; soon after Appellant's arrest, Poorboy was arrested on unrelated charges of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon and Possession of Marijuana, after former felony conviction, and he was facing ten years to life; Poorboy was released from custody on those charges; on August 18, 1998, one of the prosecutors in Appellant's case argued to a magistrate that Poorboy's bond should be raised from $10,000 to $100,000 because he was a danger to the community; Poorboy's bond was subsequently raised to $100,000; Poorboy was taken into custody and remained there until September 24, 1998; on that day, Poorboy's attorney worked out a bond reduction arrangement with prosecutors whereby Poorboy would provide them with a statement implicating Appellant in the instant crime; Poorboy's bond reduction and statement came about as a result of prosecutors calling Poorboy's attorney and telling the attorney if Poorboy wanted any type of deal regarding his pending felonies, he had to give a statement that day, the last day of discovery in the instant case; Poorboy's statement implicated Appellant in the crimes; Poorboy's statement was the first one he gave that implicated Appellant and it was given while Poorboy was in custody; after Poorboy's statement was given, prosecutors asked to lower his bond back to $10,000 and he was released from custody; at Appellant's trial, Poorboy testified he was not promised anything on his pending felonies in exchange for his testimony, although he was "hopeful for some type of consideration;14 Poorboy's felony cases were passed until after Appellant's trial; after Appellant's trial, the State dismissed the Assault with Deadly Weapon charge against Poorboy; Poorboy pled guilty to the Possession of Marijuana charge, after the allegation of former conviction was [1155]*1155dropped; Poorboy received a ten-year suspended sentence; the trial court found, at the evidentiary hearing, that the State prosecutors failed to inform Appellant's lawyers as to the manner in which discussions of "consideration" "* were initiated by the prosecutors with Appellant's attorney; and the trial court also found that "the state prosecutors did fully interd to offer a deal to Jason Poorboy if he testified favorably to the State." 15
125 However, the record reflects that many of these details were disclosed to the jury. At the time of trial, the jury was apprised of the following material facts with respect to Poorboy: he had a prior felony conviction for assaulting a police officer; he had pending charges for assault with a dangerous weapon and marijuana possession; he had first spoken to the prosecutor in the last two weeks, even though he had information regarding the murders for eight or nine years; he had no deal, but was "hoping for some kind of consideration" for his testimony; he had known Appellant for a few years and Bastion for a few months at the time of the crime; the three men were friends and spent a lot of time together; he and Appellant were Bastion's only friends; he, Appellant, and Bastion had burglarized Tulsa Expediting two weeks before the murder of Coy and Tonya Wilkerson; the trio stole a gun during the robbery, and there was an understanding the gun was his; they all shot the gun; the trio discussed a home burglary and the possibility of killing someone "if people were there;" Poorboy knew a great deal about how the murders occurred, supposedly through conversations with Appellant; the gun from Tulsa Expediting was used in the murders; he hung out with Appellant and Bastion after the murders, and was together with Bastion in the early morning after the homicides occurred; he lived next door to Bastion; he had been out on bond on his pending felonies, but Appellant's prosecutor, Mr. Heil, had asked for Poorboy's bond to be increased by claiming he was a danger to the community; his bond was increased to $100,000 and he went back to jail; he did not like being in jail; after he gave a statement to prosecutors in the instant case, his bond was reduced to $10,000 and he was released; he had received something for cooperating in this case, a $90,000 bond reduction; his marijuana case had been continued until after Appellant's trial; prior to giving his statement, he had denied knowing about the Wilkinson homicides; and it was the prosecutors who contacted Poorboy's attorney about obtaining what Poorboy knew about the murders.
126 At the evidentiary hearing, the witnesses discussed four types of arrangements the State typically makes with potential witnesses who have pending felonies, such as Jason Poorboy. First, a witness may be told that if he testifies favorably, ie., consistent with what the prosecutors believe to be the truth, the State will in fact make a specific recommendation on his pending felonies, such as five years imprisonment. Second, a witness's lawyer may be told that if his client testifies favorably, the State will make a specific recommendation, but that the lawyer is not permitted to tell his client about the recommendation. Third, the witness may be told that if he testifies favorably, the prosecutors will consider his cooperation at the time of making a recommendation to the judge. And fourth, a witness may be told that if he testifies favorably, he need not worry about his pending cases.
T 27 Appellant claims his case falls into the third category. Furthermore, Appellant claims that, at a minimum, a promise is implied in such an arrangement, le., that the prosecution would be lenient with Poorboy if he testified favorably for their case.
[1156]*1156128 This proposition really boils down to two issues: (1) whether the State made an undisclosed "deal" with Poorboy regarding his pending felony convictions; and (2) if so, whether the failure to disclose that deal and/or the failure to disclose the "manner in which discussions of consideration were initiated" by prosecutors with Appellant's attorney are material facts that undermines this Court's confidence in the trial outcome.
129 Regarding the existence of an undisclosed deal, Poorboy's attorney testified at the evidentiary hearing that "[alt no time did Mark Collier make any specific promise or deal or offer regarding any recommendation he would make in the pending criminal matters against Jason Poorboy ... Jason coming forward to testify was an act of faith on his part. He had no promise, no guarantee whatsoever as to what would happen on his pending criminal matters." 16 However, Mr. Collier did make known to him, if Poorboy testified truthfully for the State, that he would take that into consideration.'17 Poorboy and his counsel had no idea what that would mean, although Poorboy "certainly hoped" to get something.18
130 On this same point, the prosecutor, Mr. Collier, testified that he specifically told Poorboy:
I can't promise you anything. All you're going to have to do is trust that I'll treat you fairly, is what I said. I can't promise you that I'll give you any consideration. I know that you're doing this in anticipation for consideration. I certainly will consider it if I think you've testified truly and honestly, but I'm not going to promise that or anything else ... I never promised him anything directly, never told him he was going to get any consideration. I know that he was anticipating it, but I never promised him or guaranteed him anything.19
Mr. Collier testified, "I had no idea what I intended to do with Mr. Poorboy. It was the last thing on my mind." 20 He decided what they would specifically recommend sometime after Appellant's trial.
131 Although Mr. Collier was somewhat inconsistent in his testimony regarding the use of the term "consideration," 21 it appears he was generally using that word to mean he would "take it into account." He admitted there had never been a time when a witness such as Poorboy had testified favorably and Mr. Collier had not considered it. Indeed, Mr. Collier testified Poorboy had the right to expect that Mr. Collier would consider it. He also admitted the difference between a "deal" and "consideration" was a matter of semantics.
132 Furthermore, Mr. Collier testified "Lelvery conversation that we had in terms of any deal, consideration, cooperation was disclosed with Mr. Wallace beforehand. He knew everything that I knew." 22 Mr. Collier also testified about telling Appellant's counsel before trial that "if Mr. Poorboy testified truthfully, he would take that into consideration.23
33 The trial court found that the prosecutors "did fully intend to offer a deal to Jason Poorboy if he testified favorably for the State." We find this issue to be fairly supported by the record, especially in light of the loose use of the term consideration.
134 More importantly, however, the trial court found the State of Oklahoma did not enter into an undisclosed agreement with Jason Poorboy with respect to the testimony he would give at Appellant's trial,. The trial court also found the State prosecutors had no idea what kind of sentence would be offered to Jason Poorboy until after Appellant's trial and that no specific terms were discussed between the State and Poorboy's attorney.
€ 35 These factual findings are supported by the record, and we agree with the trial court's conclusions on this point. We find no evidence of an undisclosed agreement between the State and Poorboy or his attorney. [1157]*1157Poorboy was never told what, if anything, he could expect in relation to his pending felonies. He was never told when, if ever, he could expect the State to act. Furthermore, the evidentiary hearing testimony indicates that, to the extent any of the State's discussions with Poorboy could be considered an agreement, those discussions were disclosed to Appellant's counsel.
136 We agree there are elements of an implied contract here.24 Although no express terms were mentioned, the course of dealings between the State and indigent defense counsel indicates that Jason Poorboy had every reason to expect the State would deal favorably with him in the future. However, the evidentiary hearing clearly indicates this fact was known by both sides. Appellant's attorney did an effective job of presenting this issue to the jury. Given what is known by both sides regarding such arrangements, defense counsel could have gone even further.
137 However, on the second point, the trial court found the State prosecutors failed to inform Appellant's lawyers "as to the manner in which discussions of consideration were initiated" by the Tulsa County prosecutors with Jason Poorboy's attorney.25 Nevertheless, the trial court ruled that Appellant's substantial rights had not been prejudiced and the trial verdict was not rendered suspect by this non-disclosure.
138 The State should have disclosed, to the extent it actually happened, the fact that Poorboy had been told that this was his last chance to give a statement, for such evidence might have been useful in impeaching the witness. See United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 676, 105 S.Ct. 3375, 3380, 87 L.Ed.2d 481 (1985) (finding the duty to disclose evidence favorable to an accused encompasses impeachment evidence as well as exeulpatory evidence). In such cases, the Court looks at the materiality of the non-disclosed information and asks if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different. Bagley, 473 U.S. at 682, 105 S.Ct. at 3383; see also Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 434, 115 S.Ct. 1555, 1566, 131 L.Ed.2d 490 (1995) ("The question is not whether the defendant would more likely than not have received a different verdict with the evidence, but whether in its absence he received a fair trial, understood as a trial resulting in a verdict worthy of confidence.").
139 Here, after careful thought and deliberation, we find the non-disclosed information was not material in the Bagley sense, ie., Appellant received a verdict worthy of confidence even in its absence. As shown above, Appellant's jurors knew Jason Poorboy had a great amount of pressure placed upon him from the State in order to obtain his statement. Jurors were apprised that Poorboy was a possible suspect in the crime and that he stood to gain a great deal by testifying. They knew State prosecutors reduced Poorboy's bond in response to the favorable statement he gave and that Poorboy was hoping to receive consideration on his pending felonies. They were told of his prior felony conviction and his prior inconsistent statement. Furthermore, they were instructed that an informer's testimony is to be examined and weighed with greater care than the testimony of an ordinary witness. We cannot say their being unaware that Poorboy's statement was given on the last possible day undermines our confidence in the verdict.
{40 That being so, we find any possible error pertaining to the non-disclosure of this information did not affect the outcome of this proceeding and is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 24, 87 S.Ct. 824, 828, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967).
$41 In his third proposition, Appellant claims the trial court erred in failing to suppress Appellant's statements to Ms. Holt "insofar as her questioning of him amounted [1158]*1158to custodial interrogation and he was not Mirandized." Appellant raised this issue in a pretrial motion, which the trial court overruled.26
[ 42 The record reflects that, after Appellant's arrest, Ms. Holt visited Appellant in the Tulsa County Jail on Tuesday, May 14, 1991.27 Police officers did not ask her to come; Ms. Holt came down to the jail on her own to "witness" to Appellant.28 Police officers allowed Ms. Holt to visit Appellant, but told her Appellant would probably not speak to her. Appellant did agree to speak to Ms. Holt, however. During their visit, Appellant admitted he was in the car Ms. Holt stopped when items from the Wilkerson home were being burned.29 At trial, Ms. Holt identified Appellant as the person she spoke to in jail and as the person she saw in the vehicle on the night of the murder,
%48 This proposition is without merit. First, Appellant's statements to Ms. Holt were not coerced, and Ms. Holt was not acting as an agent of the State or in an investigatory manner when she visited Appellant in jail. The exclusionary rule does not apply to voluntary statements of a defendant to private citizens. MceCubbin v. State, 1984 OK CR 37, ¶ 16, 675 P.2d 461, 465. Itis only when the State actively engages in prior arrangements with an informer to obtain desired information in contravention of constitutionally protected rights that the sanction of suppression of the evidence is applied. Id. Second, Ms. Holt's testimony was cumulative. Appellant had spoken to Officer Bob Jackson four days earlier and admitted this same information, after receiving the Miranda warnings.30 Appellant has failed to show he was prejudiced by admission of this same evidence by another witness or that he was denied a fair trial. Short v. State, 1999 OK CR 15, ¶ 29, 980 P.2d 1081, 1095.
