May's allegation that Darrell Godfrey was charged with Assault on a Female prior to the July 1997
homicides; that the alleged victim was identified as Kelli Buckner; and that evidence of this charge
could have been used by the defense in evaluating and challenging Godfrey's credibility had he
testified before the jury. May cites this court record to support his claim that the jury was not
informed of material information concerning Godfrey's prior criminal history and alleged acts of
violence.
