District Court, D. Connecticut January 12, 1978, Civ. B-76-202 (Thergood v. Tedford)

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

ZAMPANO, District Judge.

In this application for a writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, petitioner Anthony Thergood contends his state court conviction was constitutionally tainted by the trial judge’s rulings which restricted the cross-examination of an admitted accomplice and the prosecution’s principal witness, Robert Shipman.
