Octavius McLendon and Henry Lee Bryant v. United States
Where a Brady violation has rendered constitutionally infirm the conviction of a defendant who was alleged to be the principal in the commission of an offense, does the infirmity in the principal's conviction warrant new trial relief for petitioners who were convicted, in a joint trial with the principal, of aiding and abetting the principal and does the availability of relief to petitioners turn on whether the principal individually requests and receives new trial relief?
