1Opinion of the Court
ESCHBACH, Senior Circuit Judge.
Kevin Morrison (“Morrison”) appeals from the District Court’s denial of his petition for habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Morrison was convicted in Indiana state court of aiding an attempted robbery which resulted in serious bodily injury. He was sentenced to 30 years. The state court may have erred by admitting as evidence the confession of Morrison’s nontestifying codefendant. Any error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, however, in light of Morrison’s own statements upon arrest and at trial. We affirm.
