Gonzales v. Thaler, No. 10-20019 (5th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePetitioner appealed the denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus where he was convicted of armed robbery. At issue was whether petitioner was denied due process when the trial court admitted an arrest warrant affidavit containing hearsay statements. The court held that defendant failed to establish a due process violation where the admission of the warrant affidavit did not render his trial fundamentally unfair because the warrant affidavit was not at the heart of the case against defendant and the brief references to it at trial did not permeate the entire case. Therefore, the court affirmed the judgment denying federal habeas relief.
