Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether the lower courts should fully decide whether the state knew or should have known that the testimony about Mr. LeBere's "confession" was false.
2. In the alternative, whether the Tenth Circuit improperly denied a certificate of appealability by concluding that Mr. LeBere's appeal ultimately will fail, rather than considering—as this Court requires—whether it has at least debatable merit.
