In this Florida capital case, the Florida Supreme Court, while acknowledging that the prosecution's argument to the jury was not true, denied Petitioner Jonathan Alcegaire's Giglio claim on direct appeal. Alcegaire contends that the Florida Supreme Court denied relief only by misconstruing the facts in the record and disregarding firmly-established precedents of this Court regarding presentation of false or misleading evidence.

The question presented to this Court is whether the Florida Supreme Court ignored fundamental principles of due process in rejecting Alcegaire's Giglio claim and whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the false statements made by the prosecutor could have affected the judgment of the jury.
