• holding that actual falsity was not shown where witness merely had 19 “conflicting recollections of events”
• concluding, in part, that the defendants did not show grounds for relief under Brady when both were able to impeach Government witnesses
• stating that fact that witness may have given earlier inconsistent statement, or that other witnesses 13 may have conflicting recollection of events, does not establish that witness’s testimony was false
• agreeing with the Fifth Circuit case of United States v. Chagra, 807 F.2d 398, 401-02(5th Cir. 1986), that \it is logically possible to conspire to commit second-degree murder\
• withheld psychiatric report that would have established witness’s mem- ory loss was cumulative when defense had elicited fact of memory loss on cross-examination
• \The fact that a witness may have made an earlier inconsistent statement . . . does not establish that the testimony offered at 19 trial was false.\
