196 S.E.2d 660

ALLEN v. THE STATE. MASTERSON v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided March 1, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Glenn Zell, for appellants.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Donald G. Frost, Jack Mallard, Joel M. Feldman, for appellee.

HALL, Presiding Judge.

It is well settled that evidence of an expectation of leniency by a prosecution witness who is or could be charged or convicted of a crime is relevant to the question of his credibility. 62 ALR2d 610-668. The issue here involved the extent of the duty owed by a prosecutor to disclose information he has concerning such an expectation.

In our opinion this case is controlled by Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150
