May's allegation that Joseph Cullen would have testified that he observed and heard a loud
argument between Valerie Riddle and Darrell Godfrey shortly before the murders; that the
argument continued for approximately ten minutes; that Valerie Riddle and Godfrey left together;
and that Lyle May remained at the residence. May relies upon this excluded testimony to support
his claim that evidence concerning Godfrey's relationship with Valerie Riddle, potential motive, and
the events immediately preceding the murders was never presented to the jury.
