1Opinion of the Court
HAMILTON, Circuit Judge.
Cory Welch was convicted by a jury of eight counts of armed robbery, conspiracy, fleeing an officer, and misdemeanor bail-jumping. Forty-two witnesses testified against him, including twelve police officers. Two officers in their testimony referred to other criminal charges against Welch. After exhausting his appeals in the state courts, Welch filed a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 asserting that the admission of those statements violated his right to a fair trial and that his counsel was ineffective for not contesting them. The district court denied relief.
