Whitton v. Dixon · ¶28

In response to this clarification regarding Ozio's juvenile record, Whitton did not bring a new claim in state court based on Ozio's inconsistent statements. He instead added a new federal habeas claim, arguing that Ozio's testimony about his prior record also entitled him to a new trial under Giglio. Whitton did not address his failure to present this claim to the state courts, nor did he request a stay of federal proceedings to rectify it. The District Court denied Whit- ton's federal habeas petition.
