Cited to Support

May's allegation that defense counsel argued Joseph Cullen's excluded testimony demonstrated hostility and malice between Darrell Godfrey and Valerie Riddle shortly before the murders; that prosecutors opposed admission of the evidence; that defense counsel sought to make an additional offer of proof through Dr. Ram Raheja; and that the trial court ruled Cullen's testimony inadmissible as hearsay. May relies upon these proceedings to support his claim that evidence bearing upon Godfrey's motive, credibility, and potential involvement in the crimes was withheld from the jury
