Description
Before the court is Petitioner-Appellant Frank Adamss appeal from the denial of his habeas petition by the Middle District of Tennessee, Honorable District Court Judge Robert L. Echols. Appellant now preserves for appeal his claim for habeas relief based on the state trial courts admission of his co-defendant Timothy Crowells hearsay testimony at trial, arguing that the admission of that statement violated Appellants rights under the Confrontation Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Appellee argues that Appellant has procedurally defaulted his habeas challenge on this issue by failing to argue it in front of the Tennessee Supreme Court, and alternatively, that the admission of the co-defendants statements did not violate Appellants constitutional rights. Appellant now appeals the District Courts ruling that his habeas claim has been procedurally defaulted. We AFFIRM.
