I just bought a Blackberry 8330 and when I send someone an mms with a pic from phone they do not receive the message. Does anyone know why that happens? Is the Blackberry not compatible with other carriers/phones in that area for some reason?

Just today, I sent a friend an MMS with a jpg I had saved to my bb. No problems on either end.
I wonder...did you sign up for Verizon's text and picture messaging services? Verizon may have to activate the feature.
So far, I have found Verizon's tech support people to be very good and encourage you to call them.

Burj Khalifa Tickets: Level 124 & 125
Witness unforgettable, panoramic views over Dubai from the observation deck of the iconic Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Let your jaw…
DubaiSee all 542 tickets & tours
Want to discover all there is to do in Dubai Fountains? Click here for a full list.
It was great experience to get on the tallest building in the world. View from the 124 floor is just amazing. I have lot of perfect photos. And time of visiting ( from 5 PM until 6 PM )is just perfect cause you get day view and the night view.
Fantastic evening up at Level 124! We had pre- booked the tickets so were able to get through the crowd pretty easily, which I would definitely recommend, as it can get quite busy particularly in the evening. We watched the fountain show from the top and then we went down to watch it at eye- level and by far it was one of the best highlights of our entire holiday. The music and fountain show was so well synchronized- absolutely mind boggling. I would recommend taking your children too as there is a nice gift shop at the top with all kinds of little treats. There are also fantastic photo opportunities with scenic views all round.
fast track is 200% more costlier than 34USD for regular entry. View is terrific but not for the cost of 93USD / 340AED. Thanks for the service.
We had our voucher and collected our tickets without waiting in a line. Then we visited Burj Khalifa nad took many wonderous photos
We appreciate the brain of thinking to build such a wonder in UAE/Dubai. A man made wonder in UAE. Lot of hard working and enjoyed people like us.

While out promoting Avatar, Sigourney Weaver dropped some fairly big spoilers concerning the eternally upcoming Ghostbusters 3. Looks like one buster will be spending most of his screen time on the other side!
From an interview with Channel 4:
"I'm afraid to say it [Ghostbuster 3] is happening, I hope people are excited about that," she tells the site. "I don't know if I'm going to be in it, I have had a couple of calls asking 'would you read the script.'"
"I know that my little son Oscar – who was kidnapped from me – I think he has grown up to be a ghostbuster," she added. "I might be in it; I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don't think I will have a big part. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it – he's a ghost."
See that mushroom cloud over there? Yeah, it's emanating from the skulls of writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky who no doubt would have prefered to have kept this little nugget of info quiet!

GFI plans share sale as profits double
Net profits at GFI Group, the US-listed derivatives broker which recently broke off talks to acquire rival Tullett Prebon, rose 108% to an all-time high of $48.1m (â¬40.2 m) last year as more staff joined to support robust trading levels.
Revenues increased 39% to $533.6m.
GFI, which had held discussions to acquire Tullett from broker Collins Stewart, separately filed plans to sell 3.5 million shares in the second quarter on behalf of stockholders.
Private equity firm, Advent International has indicated its intention to sell its remaining 2 million shares, while Jersey Partners, controlled by GFI founder and chief executive Michael Gooch, plans to sell approximately 1.5 million of the total 13.9 million shares it owns.
The planned secondary offering comes just over a year after the company floated on Nasdaq at $21 per share. GFI's shares closed at $54.70 on Monday. Citigroup and Merrill Lynch led the flotation, but no banks have yet been appointed to run the secondary offering.
For the three months to December, GFI reported total revenues of $140.3m, up a third from the $105.1m in the fourth quarter of 2004. The company's net profits in the quarter more than tripled to $11.4m.
Gooch said: "Our ability to attract highly-qualified brokerage personnel is a key driver of our growth. The addition of brokerage personnel in the fourth quarter contributed to the 39% increase in our total brokerage headcount for the year."
Gooch said he expected first quarter 2006 revenues to increase by 40% or more over 2005 levels.

Clearly you don't tell them where you are working at that early stage.
Surely the brash style is deliberate... he wants to make it very clear that he is not writing about what is right or wrong, how things should happen, or what he likes or dislikes about the world of recruitment, only the facts about the system so you can play it to your advantage.
It's almost like he thinks he knows more about the recruitment world than we do.
Some of us actually use computers to get work done.
Where are all the news stories about .NET being an insecure POS? Or are you just against anything that isn't FOSS regardless of if it's actually any good? What'd you rather they use, PHP (laugh).
Where did they say 18% of its quality was lost? When you wear sunglasses does what you see lose quality, or just look a bit darker?
One issue for me though is that if you have to ramp up the screen brightness to compensate, won't that use extra power?
I don't think anyone who uses the phrase "dumbed down" is in any position to complain about changes to the standards of education since they attended school.
Why can't it be both? The most effective ads are ones that get noticed but don't irritate people by getting in the way.
You guys don't get it. Sure, moving house or if your ISP going down are a PITA but people are not going to make a decision on which console to buy based on the one which will work when they move house, something they do perhaps every couple of years. Most people won't even think of this fact when buying (tech-savvy people are like 1% of console owners) and even if they do, it's not the big issue. It's like saying nobody will take out a Netflix/Spotify subscription because they won't be able to watch TV or listen to music after they move house... it's an inconvenience (I just moved house!) but people still use those services.
All the people who use their PCs and PS4s to play online games won't be able to play them for two weeks either, but I've never read a review of a multiplayer-focused game which marksa game down because you can't play it after you move house.
As for dodgy internet... phoning home is not using a lot of data, it's just logging in.
And if it's really an issue... just run your phone as a MiFi for a few minutes.
They haven't listened to what customers want, they have just taken the gold-plated opportunity to profit from MS' foolishness. Sony are ONLY doing this to steal MS customers and make more money, there is nothing close to "doing good" here, just a shrewd financial move.
Perhaps because of import duties? Perhaps because you live so far away from the rest of us?
Except that to many players, having to phone home every day is inconsequential as it will always be online through WiFi.
The 2nd-hand game issue is the thing which could scupper MS, but I'm not convinced of that... yet.
I was being sarcastic, to highlight that even if they did sell it the exact same price everywhere, some people would still complain.
Yet they probably won't have a real debate about selling more at the correct price. They'll just assume they're making more money by gouging the Australian people.
There IS NO "the correct price" you idiot. That's the whole bloody point. Even if there were, it wouldn't be the same price everywhere... if you sell it for $500 everywhere then it is cheaper for people in countries with higher salaries, that's not fair for people in poor countries...
Oh no, the government can kill my phone. Hardly near the top of my worries, like having them block my bank account.
We've heard news before that Apple are under pressure to release iOS7 ASAP, rather than when they're ready too. Apple are one company who can play on their own terms so "release it when it's finished" has to be the right route here.
Dummies are not a niche.
Pick someone who's already playing the role of an eccentric, almost alien genius, with floppy hair and no interest in women.
I really hope the BBC show more imagination.
Yeah, they're essentially just tagging which is tried and tested and makes perfect sense in this context.
Good to know JP19 is here to refute people who actually study physics for a living.
Nowhere did the article say dark lightning risks x-ray exposure. gamma rays are not x-rays (well there's a cross-over but the principle applies).
If you don't want to hear people talking, don't listen to the radio, listen to a CD, you moron. The whole point of radio is it's not just playing CDs back to back.
I hope you leave your credit cards at home when you go out too, just in case someone mugs you.
It's still humans picking the playlist, and there is scope for the DJ to change things or talk in between and muck up the timings.
From what I remember of listening to Moyles talk about things like this, you do get some sort of timer/count-in.
If you want to buy something, a 1-click experience IS helpful to you as well as great for the seller. Or do you prefer going through a 3 page credit-card form every time you want to buy something?
They could but it only works because of a willing user-base. Waze already has that so if they carry on, the rest of us can benefit.
You know deep down every iPhone user is going to look at this and think "well, they kept telling me this was better than the competition for all those years
Yeah, the average Apple user definitely thinks all that, rather than just buying iPhone because it;s cool and pretty. People buy phones because they like them, not as a result of prolonged introspection.
That's how every industry works... products evolve most of the time, and they tend to do that by learning/borrowing from each other. Revolution is not the rule. If it were, things would be too confusing because every two years the OS would change totally.
Did Android copy Apple by launching a full-touch mobile OS? Or did they simply see it was the best way to go?
Companies run IE8/9/10 on W7 because they're locked in to IE6? Good argument.
Hey Eadon why don't you go and do some research on who uses IE... I'd guess you need to spend a couple of months. Then come and report back.
See you in August.
Do you also make sure to turn off unused power sockets so the electricity doesn't leak out?
Well IE9/10 doesn't run on XP for a start.
Yeah because W8 isn't more resource-efficient than W7, which was better than Vista. Oh wait, it is.
And good job for failing at science, when they eliminate the baseline the fact it's W8 is not a factor.
People were using it in this test. Try to come up with something that at least makes sense.
These days, you do NOT need to upgrade your PC every year. A beasty 12-core machine is going to be quite relevant for several years.
Just because it's a powerful workstation does not mean it needs to be any more easily upgradeable than a regular workstation.
Most Apple using-professionals don't spend their time upgrading the thing. The old Pro might be great from a PC user's perspective but the sales figures show it simply isn't that interesting to Apple users. Cool is what Apple do...
I'll wait for reviews, but I have to say I am tremendously impressed they have focused on such a genuinely useful improvement as all-day battery life, rather than simply making it even thinner and lighter just because they can. Of course this is mainly down to Intel and will (hopefully) be seen in WinBooks too, but it's a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
Please can we just ban cliched lines like "You're the product, not the customer"; honestly it gets so tiring and is just a way for people who nothing about the issues to trot out trite comments to sound current.
I hate companies trying to make their service better as much as the next guy, but really...
To write Culture books... it really is such a great SF universe. I can't decide if it would be a good or a bad thing but amongst SF writers, it is not unknown for great writers to write in homage to other writers they are fans of, especially where an author knows they are dying.
Putting aside the question of if this should happen, are there any authors who you reckon could write stories in a Culture universe?
Thanks Prof.
...Alastair Reynolds' SF to you, especially the "Revelation Space" books. Definitely in the same vein.
May I recommend Alastair Reynolds' SF to you, especially the "Revelation Space" books. It's the closest SF to I.M.B I've come across.
Enough of the "it's supposed to be hard" snobbery please. He wrote books to be enjoyed.
Personally I think Player of Games is his most immediately gripping Sci-Fi novel which doesn't let sci-fi get in the way of the story. I think lots of his works take a little getting into but are always worth the effort.
I always wondered if the 'utopia' of the Culture was really meant as that, or a reflection on what society thinks utopia would be. i.e. was he a staunch liberal or was that a statement on liberalism?
I missed the part where you were forced to read the article. And where like an idiot you wasted even more time writing a comment about it.
Copied from W8?
Here's a radical idea. Stop using sites you don't like rather than whinging about them.
Or setting a good example to the world not to tolerate people videoing them just because the technology exists?
But please don't try to make "FB scale" some sort of metric.
Wow, not CBeebies. Almost like you just went looking for two numbers that add to almost £100m.
And hang on... the annual budget of BBC4 and beebies is ~£100m?! WTF do they spend that on exactly? BBC4 has good stuff and I guess beebies is good for what it is, but a pretty girl talking to puppets and some footage of The Who from 40 years ago are hardly big-budget broadcasting.

JAMES WASHINGTON,PETITIONER,v.JEFFREY BEARD, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
James Washington ("Petitioner") is a prisoner at State Correctional Institution Rockview. Petitioner filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 ("Habeas Petition") challenging his custody. U.S. Magistrate Judge Strawbridge recommended denial of the Habeas Petition and Petitioner raised eleven objections. For the reasons that follow, the Court will sustain Petitioner's objection regarding denial of his Confrontation Clause rights and issue a conditional writ of habeas corpus to free Petitioner from custody unless he is retried by the Commonwealth within 120 days.
Petitioner is currently serving two consecutive life sentences and a concurrent term of ten to twenty years of imprisonment based on convictions for second-degree murder, robbery, and criminal conspiracy. Report & Recommendation 2, ECF No. 15 [hereinafter "R&R"]. The convictions stem from the robbery and murder of two employees of a Dollar Express store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 24, 2000. Id. at 1. Petitioner, Willie Johnson, Romont Waddy, and James Taylor conspired to commit the robbery. Id. at 2. Taylor, a former employee of the store, conceived of the plan to commit the robbery based on his knowledge of the store and its operations. Id. Petitioner, the only conspirator with access to a vehicle, would drive. Id. When the conspirators executed the plan, Johnson, who carried a firearm, murdered the two employees with single shots to the head. Id. Thereafter, Taylor learned that he became a person of interest in the murder, subsequently surrendered, and provided a statement to the police. Id. He entered into a plea agreement whereby he agreed to testify against his co-conspirators in exchange for a sentence of imprisonment not more than 55 to 110 years. Id.
Petitioner, Johnson, and Waddy were tried together in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas before the Honorable Steven R. Geroff. Id. The Commonwealth sought the death penalty against Johnson. Id. On the fifth day of jury selection, Waddy's counsel, joined by counsel for co-defendants, objected that the prosecutor employed peremptory challenges in a racially discriminatory manner. Id. at 3. On the record, Judge Geroff allowed the prosecutor, Judith Rubino, Esquire, to explain her rejection of eleven Africa-American venire persons. Id. After concluding that the prosecutor did not engage in race-based jury selection, the court proceeded with jury selection.*fn1 Id.
On November 5, 2001, the jury found Petitioner guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of robbery, and one count of criminal conspiracy. Id. On July 31, 2003, the Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed his convictions. Commonwealth v. Washington, 832 A.2d 545 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2003) (table). And on March 16, 2004, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied Petitioner's direct appeal. Commonwealth v. Washington, 847 A.2d 1285 (Pa. 2004) (table).
On January 24, 2005, Petitioner collaterally attacked his convictions under the Pennsylvania Post Conviction Relief Act ("PCRA"). The PCRA court denied Petitioner's PCRA petition. Commonwealth v. Washington, No. CP-51-CR-1003091-2000, slip op. at 1 (Pa. Ct. Com. Pl. June 9, 2008). The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed. Commonwealth v. Washington, 981 A.2d 938 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2009) (table). And on May 18, 2010, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied his appeal. Commonwealth v. Washington, 995 A.2d 353 (Pa. 2010) (table).
On June 10, 2010, Petitioner filed the instant Habeas
Petition that raises claims of ineffective assistance and constructive denial of counsel and claims that various trial court decisions violated his constitutional rights. Habeas Pet. 11. The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Strawbridge for a report and recommendation. Judge Strawbridge issued a fifty-page report recommending denial of the Habeas Petition on the merits. Petitioner timely objected. Pet'r's Objections 1, ECF No. 18. And the matter is now ripe for disposition.*fn2
The Court may refer an application for a writ of habeas corpus to a U.S. Magistrate Judge for a report and recommendation. Section 2254 R. 10 ("A magistrate judge may perform the duties of a district judge under these rules, as authorized under 28 U.S.C. § 636."); see also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2006 & Supp. IV 2011). A prisoner may object to the magistrate judge's report and recommendations within fourteen days after being served with a copy thereof. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); E.D. Pa. R. 72.1(IV)(b). The Court must then "make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Court does not review general objections. See Brown v. Astrue, 649 F.3d 193, 195 (3d Cir. 2011) ("We have provided that § 636(b)(1) requires district courts to review such objections de novo unless the objection is not timely or not specific." (internal quotation marks omitted)). The Court "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." Id. Therefore, the Court will conduct a de novo review of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which Petitioner objects.
On habeas review, the Court must determine whether the state court's adjudication of the claims raised was (1) contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law, or (2) based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d) (2006).
Petitioner raises eleven objections to the Report and Recommendation. For the following reasons, the Court will sustain objection ten, which relates to Petitioner's confrontation rights, and issue a conditional writ of habeas corpus on that ground. For the sake of completeness, the Court considers and overrules Petitioner's remaining objections.
A. Co-Defendant's Redacted Statement
In his tenth objection, Petitioner argues the state trial court violated his confrontation rights under the Sixth Amendment.*fn3 On direct appeal, the Pennsylvania Superior Court rejected Petitioner's claim that the trial court violated his rights under the Confrontation Clause by allowing a witness to read from parts of co-defendant Waddy's redacted confession. Commonwealth v. Washington, No. 723 EDA 2002, slip op. 4-5 (Pa. Super. Ct. July 31, 2003). Names and nicknames in the statement were replaced with words such as "the other guy" and "the driver" before a witness read from the statement in response to questions. R&R 47. And before the witness read parts of the statement to the jury, Judge Geroff instructed the jury that the evidence relates only to defendant Waddy and not any other defendant. Trial Tr. vol. 1, 58:7-19, Nov. 1, 2001.
Judge Strawbridge determined that the Pennsylvania Superior Court's decision was not contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, federal law. Judge Strawbridge noted that co-defendant Waddy's statement was not subject to the requirements of the Confrontation Clause because co-defendant Waddy did not testify against Petitioner, either in person or through an admitted statement. R&R 49. Although Taylor identified Petitioner as "the driver" at trial, only by inference could Waddy's redacted statement refer to Petitioner. Moreover, Taylor was subject to extensive cross-examination. Therefore, Judge Strawbridge determined that Petitioner had no right under the Confrontation Clause to cross-examine co-defendant Waddy regarding the redacted statement. Id.
Upon de novo review of Judge Strawbridge's Report and Recommendation, the Court holds that Petitioner was deprived of his rights under the Confrontation Clause when the trial court allowed a witness to read from co-defendant Waddy's redacted statement. "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to be confronted with the witnesses against him." U.S. Const. amend. VI. Because the right of confrontation includes the right to cross-examine adverse witnesses, "where two defendants are tried jointly, the pretrial confession of one cannot be admitted against the other unless the confessing defendant takes the stand." Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200, 206 (1987).
Generally, witness testimony in a joint trial is not "against" a defendant when the trial court instructs the jury not to consider the testimony against that defendant. See id. This is so because the court presumes that "the jury can and will follow the trial judge's instructions to disregard such information." Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 135 (1968). "Nevertheless, . . . there are some contexts in which the risk that the jury will not, or cannot, follow instructions is so great, and the consequences of failure so vital to the defendant, that the practical and human limitations of the jury system cannot be ignored." Id. Thus, in Bruton, the Court held that a defendant is deprived of his right to confront witnesses against him when a non-testifying co-defendant's confession, which facially incriminates the defendant, is introduced at trial, regardless of whether the trial court delivers a limiting instruction. Id. at 135-36.
Following Bruton, the Supreme Court considered whether the exception laid out in Bruton extended to a non-testifying co-defendant's confession introduced at trial that was "redacted to omit all reference to respondent--indeed, to omit all indication that anyone other than [the co-defendants] participated in the crime." Richardson, 481 U.S. at 203. In Richardson, the trial court also instructed the jury not to consider the confession against the defendant. The Court noted that in Bruton, "the co-defendant's confession 'expressly implicat[ed]' the defendant as his accomplice." Id. at 208 (quoting Bruton, 391 U.S. at 124 n.1). "By contrast, in this case the confession was not incriminating on its face, and became so only when linked with evidence introduced later at trial (the defendant's own testimony)." Id. The Court explained that the jurors would be more likely to obey a limiting instruction where further evidence linking the co-defendant's confession to defendant was necessary. Id. Thus, the Richardson Court held, "the Confrontation Clause is not violated by the admission of a non-testifying co-defendant's confession with a proper limiting instruction when as here, the confession is redacted to eliminate not only the defendant's name, but any reference to his or her existence." Id. at 211. Importantly, the Court reserved the question of whether "a confession in which the defendant's name has been replaced with a symbol or neutral pronoun" would suffice. Id. at 211 n.5.
In Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185 (1998), the Court took up just that issue. There the Court considered whether a defendant's rights under the Confrontation Clause were violated where "the prosecution . . . redacted the co-defendant's confession by substituting for the defendant's name in the confession a blank space or the word 'deleted.'" Gray, 523 U.S. at 188. After the trial court judge ordered the co-defendant's confession to be redacted, a witness read the confession into evidence, saying the word "deleted" or "deletion" where defendant's name appeared. The trial court judge also gave a limiting instruction. The Gray Court expressed concern that jurors would react to the redacted confession at issue similarly as if the confession was not redacted at all. Id. at 193. That is, the blank space or deletion will alert jurors, who will easily discover that the blank or deletion previously referred to a co-defendant. Id. Furthermore, "[b]y encouraging the jury to speculate about the reference, the redaction may overemphasize the importance of the confession's accusation." Id. Finally, the Court noted that typical Bruton statements have the same "powerfully incriminating effect" as the redacted statement at issue because the grammatical consistency makes both "directly accusatory." Id. at 194.
Thus, the Court held, Redactions that simply replace a name with an obvious blank space or a word such as 'deleted' or a symbol or other similarly obvious indications of alteration, however, leave statements that, considered as a class, so closely resemble Bruton's unredacted statements that, in our view, the law must require the same result.
Id. at 192. The Court finally noted that the inference connecting the confession and the defendant is not the "critical difference" between a Bruton violation and permissible, redacted testimony. Id. at 195. In fact, the distinction in Richardson relied on "the kind of, not the simple fact of, inference." Id. at 196.
We concede that Richardson placed outside the scope of Bruton's rule those statements that incriminate inferentially. We also concede that the jury must use inference to connect the statement in this redacted confession with the defendant. But inference pure and simple cannot make the critical difference, for if it did, then Richardson would also place outside Bruton's scope confessions that use shortened first names, nicknames, descriptions as unique as the 'red-haired, bearded, one-eyed man-with-a-limp,' and perhaps even full names of defendants who are always known by a nickname. This Court has assumed, however, that nicknames and specific descriptions fall inside, not outside, Bruton's protection.
Id. at 195 (citations omitted).
The Pennsylvania Superior Court's denial of Petitioner's Bruton claim was an unreasonable application of federal law as established by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Pennsylvania Superior Court noted that the "[Pennsylvania] Supreme Court explained, relying on Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200 (1987), and Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185 (1998), that the Bruton rule was limited to those 'co-defendant confessions that expressly incriminate the defendant,' as opposed to those that 'become incriminating only when linked to other evidence properly introduced at trial.'" Commonwealth v. Washington, No. 723 EDA 2002, slip op. 5 (Pa. Super. Ct. July 31, 2003) (quoting Commonwealth v. Travers, 768 A.2d 845 (Pa. 2001)).*fn4 This is a misstatement of clearly established federal law as determined by the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, in Gray, the Court held that the Bruton rule was not limited to circumstances where a non-testifying co-defendant's confession expressly incriminates a defendant. Indeed, the redacted confession in Gray was constitutionally infirm even though all express references to the defendant were deleted. Furthermore, the Pennsylvania Superior Court's reliance on a bright-line rule that a non-testifying co-defendant's confession is admissible, with a limiting instruction, so long as there is no express reference to the defendant, is contrary to Gray's instruction to look to the kind, not the fact, of an evidentiary inference.
Here, Waddy's confession was not "redacted to omit all reference to [Petitioner]--indeed, to omit all indication that anyone other than [the other co-defendants] participated in the crime." Richardson, 481 U.S. at 203 (emphasis in original). The trial judge explained the redaction of Waddy's statement as follows:
Prior to the introduction of the statement of Romont Waddy given to police on March 5, 2000, C-1, all counsel and the court reviewed it in detail. The trial judge redacted the statement. During the trial, Detective John Cummings read the redacted statement in response to questions from the prosecutor. The jury was never shown either the original or the redacted statement. The names and nicknames of all of the defendants in the case were deleted. The names and nicknames were replaced with words such as 'someone I know,' 'the other guy,' the driver,' 'the guy who went into the store,' and 'the shooter." There were no references to defendants James Washington and Willie Johnson by name or nickname, and there were no blanks in the statement in the form in which it was read in open court.
Commonwealth v. Washington, No. 10-309, slip op. 12-13 (Pa. Ct. Com. Pl. Sept. 26, 2002). Petitioner's counsel objected to the redacted statement's references to "the driver," and suggested the phrase be replaced with "a guy or another guy or some guy or something to that effect." Trial Tr. vol. 5, 6-9, Oct. 29, 2001. The trial court overruled the objection. Id. at 8-9. Detective Cummings then read from the redacted statement using the phrase "the driver" in place of Petitioner's name or nickname. Id. at 59-85.
Petitioner's existence, although not by name, and even his role in the
conspiracy, remained in the redacted statement in the form of "the
driver." Previously, the jury heard Taylor's testimony placing
Petitioner as the driver of the getaway vehicle used in the commission
of the crime. Furthermore, although the redacted statement is not
necessarily incriminating absent the inference, grounded in Taylor's
testimony, that Petitioner is "the driver," the kind of inference
required here presents an unacceptable risk that the jury considered
Waddy's confession as evidence of Petitioner's guilt.*fn5
See Gray, 523 U.S. at 195-96.
Under these circumstances, the Pennsylvania Superior Court's holding that Waddy's confession was not barred under Bruton because the confession did not incriminate Petitioner absent inference was an unreasonable application of federal law.*fn6
That the Pennsylvania Superior Court's decision was an unreasonable application of federal law does not end the analysis. Next, the Court must determine whether introduction of a non-testifying co-defendant's confession was harmless error or resulted in "actual prejudice" to Petitioner. See Adamson v. Cathel, 633 F.3d 248, 259 (3d Cir. 2011).
An error is harmless unless it had substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict. If an error did have that kind of effect, then, by definition, it resulted in actual prejudice. Our role is to ask whether we think the constitutional error substantially influenced the jury's decision. If, when all is said and done, the court's conviction is sure that the error did not influence the jury, or had but very slight effect, the verdict and the judgment should stand. But if we have grave doubt about whether the error had substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict, we must conclude that the error was not harmless.
Id. at 259-60 (alterations omitted) (citations omitted) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Given the paucity of evidence placing Petitioner at the scene of the crime, consisting solely of Taylor's identification of Petitioner as the driver of the getaway vehicle, the Court cannot conclude that Waddy's confession did not have a substantial and injurious effect on the jury's verdict against Petitioner. The Commonwealth's case against Petitioner relied on Taylor's testimony. As recognized by Judge Geroff in his charge to the jury, Taylor's testimony presented a serious credibility issue. Taylor abused drugs and provided prior inconsistent statements regarding the robbery and murders. Furthermore, his credibility was questionable because he was an integral party to the conspiracy and may have been motivated to twist the story to his benefit or the benefit of other conspirators. Trial Tr. vol. 1, 121:17-125:16, Nov. 1, 2001. He was, as the prosecutor recognized, not an ideal witness. Id. at 62:7-63:11. Given Taylor's credibility issues and the important inferential link Taylor provided to connect Petitioner as "the driver," the constitutional error had a substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict. Therefore, Petitioner suffered actual prejudice.
The Court will sustain Petitioner's objection regarding his Confrontation Clause claim and issue a conditional writ of habeas corpus on that ground.*fn7 For the sake of completeness, the Court will consider Petitioner's remaining objections.
B. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Petitioner's first nine objections relate to his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel includes the right to effective assistance of counsel. E.g., Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 686 (1984). To warrant reversal of a conviction, a prisoner must show (1) that his counsel's performance was deficient and (2) that the deficient performance prejudiced his defense. See id. at 687; Holland v. Horn, 519 F.3d 107, 120 (3d Cir. 2008). The principles governing ineffective assistance claims under the Sixth Amendment apply in collateral proceedings attacking a prisoner's sentence. See Strickland, 466 U.S. at 697-98.
To prove deficient performance, a prisoner must show that his "counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness." Id. at 688. The Court will consider whether counsel's performance was reasonable under all the circumstances. Id. Furthermore, the Court's "scrutiny of counsel's performance must be highly deferential." Id. at 689. That is, there is a "strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance." Id. In raising an ineffective assistance claim, the petitioner must first identify the acts or omissions alleged not to be the result of "reasonable professional judgment." Id. at 690. Next, the court must determine whether those acts or omissions fall outside of the "wide range of professionally competent assistance." Id. at 690.
"[T]he defendant must overcome the presumption that, under the circumstances, the challenged action might be considered sound trial strategy." United States v. Gray, 878 F.2d 702, 710 (3d Cir. 1989). A petitioner rebuts this presumption by showing either that his counsel's "conduct was not, in fact, part of a strategy or by showing that the strategy employed was unsound." Thomas v. Varner, 428 F.3d 491, 499-500 (3d Cir. 2005). When the record does not disclose counsel's actual strategy the presumption is rebutted by a "showing that no sound strategy . . . could have supported the conduct." Id. at 500.
To prove prejudice, a convicted defendant must affirmatively prove that the alleged attorney errors "actually had an adverse effect on the defense." Id. at 693. "The defendant must show that there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different. A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome." Id. at 694. With this standard in mind, the Court considers Petitioner's objections.
1. Failure to Raise Batson Claim on Direct Appeal
First, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to raise a claim under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986). Petitioner further objects that Judge Geroff denied his counsel an opportunity to state on the record the reasons he believed the Commonwealth's attorney exercised peremptory strikes. Petitioner misrepresents the proceedings. Indeed, Judge Geroff found that defense counsel presented a prima facie case for discriminatory jury selection. The burden shifted to the prosecutor to provide race-neutral explanations, on the record, with which the trial court was satisfied. The PCRA court affirmed the finding that the prosecutor did not exercise her peremptory challenges on the basis of race based on the evidence of record. Petitioner's Batson challenge would not have succeeded, and, it follows, he did not suffer prejudice from his counsel's failure to properly present the issue on direct appeal. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's first objection.
2. Failure to Investigate Alibi Defense
Second, Petitioner objects that his trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to interview Petitioner's family members and hospital personnel in connection to an alibi defense. The PCRA court rejected Petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on this ground because Petitioner failed to provide any factual or legal support for his claim. Petitioner's counsel provided alibi evidence from other witnesses. Petitioner fails to overcome the presumption that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's second objection.*fn8
3. Failure to Challenge "Other Crimes" Evidence
Third, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to evidence of other crimes relating to two porcelain dolls a bartender, Diana Coba, purchased from co-defendants Waddy, Johnson, and Taylor at a neighborhood bar a few days after the robbery and murders. Judge Geroff instructed the jury to consider the evidence only against co-defendants Waddy and Johnson. And the testimony constituted only a fraction of evidence of what was a seven-day trial. Petitioner alleges that the jury might have concluded that, had counsel presented evidence of the "true origin" of the porcelain dolls (that is, from a truck Taylor allegedly stole), Taylor gained entry to the store by using the truck and Petitioner had nothing to do with the conspiracy. Petitioner's bare allegations, however, do not overcome the presumption that his counsel provided effective assistance. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's third objection.
4. Taylor's Competency to Testify
Fourth, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to challenge more aggressively the competency of witness and co-conspirator, James Taylor, by presenting expert testimony regarding Taylor's drug use and ability to recall certain events. Petitioner has not identified any defect in the state court's resolution of the issue, has not proffered any evidence regarding how an expert would have testified, and has not indicated how the evidence would have been admissible. Furthermore, Petitioner's counsel cross-examined Taylor extensively, along with counsel for co-defendants. Petitioner has not overcome the presumption that his counsel's conduct fell within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's fourth objection.
5. Prosecution's Notes of Interview of Taylor
Fifth, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to move for a mistrial or strike parts of Taylor's testimony as inconsistent with Taylor's previous statement and preliminary hearing testimony. Judge Geroff determined the prosecutor's notes from an interview with Taylor were work product, not an official statement, and, therefore, were not Brady material. Petitioner has not shown that the trial court erred in this determination. Furthermore, even if the notes were not work product, they were not material because the jury was sufficiently on notice that Taylor provided conflicting accounts and admitted to lying to authorities. There would not have been merit to a motion to strike or for a mistrial. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's fifth objection.
6. Objection to Hearsay Testimony
Sixth, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to Taylor's testimony implicating Petitioner in the conspiracy. At trial, the prosecutor asked Taylor, "Who had introduced [Petitioner] into the plan?" Trial Tr. vol. 3, 188:10, Oct. 25, 2001. Taylor answered, "[Petitioner] was on the corner, that's when I had asked who's going to be the driver, Willie [Johnson] said [Petitioner]." Id. at 188:11-13. Petitioner's objection rests on two grounds.
First, Petitioner contends that his counsel failed to object to the testimony as hearsay. While Petitioner is correct that the testimony, "Willie said [Petitioner]," is hearsay, it is admissible hearsay under Pennsylvania law. See Pa. R. Evid. 803(25)(E) (coconspirator exception). An objection on hearsay grounds would have been meritless. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's sixth objection with respect to Petitioner's hearsay argument.
Second, Petitioner contends his counsel failed to object or strike Taylor's testimony under the Confrontation Clause. "The Confrontation Clause prohibits the 'admission of testimonial statements of a witness who did not appear at trial unless he was unavailable to testify, and the defendant had had a prior opportunity for cross-examination.'" United States v. Jimenez, 513 F.3d 62, 76 (3d Cir. 2008) (quoting Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 53-54 (2004)). Although the Supreme Court did not provide a specific definition of "testimonial statements" in Crawford, this Circuit has found co-conspirators' casual statements to each other are non-testimonial when the coconspirators did not make the statements thinking they would be available for use at a later trial. See United States v. Hendricks, 395 F.3d 173, 181-82 (3d Cir. 2005) (finding "that surreptitiously monitored conversations and statements contained in [wiretap] recordings are not 'testimonial' for purposes of Crawford"). Johnson did not inform Taylor that Petitioner would be the driver with any expectation that the statement would later be used in trial or any official proceeding. In fact, the statement was a casual remark to an acquaintance. As such, the statement is non-testimonial hearsay not subject to the strictures of the Confrontation Clause. Counsel's objection would have been meritless. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's sixth objection.
7. Inflammatory Testimony
Seventh, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to testimony regarding the children one of the victims left behind. Petitioner fails to show how the trial court abused its discretion in allowing testimony to which no objection was made. Furthermore, counsel's failure to object to the testimony is within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance.*fn9 Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's seventh objection.
8. Prosecutor's Closing Argument
Eighth, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to parts of the prosecutor's closing argument. Petitioner's objection is two-fold. First, Petitioner contends the prosecutor impermissibly expressed her opinion as to Petitioner's guilt and Taylor's credibility in her closing argument. Considering the prosecutor's remarks in context of the entire trial and closing argument, the prosecutor's remarks were a fair response to defense counsel's argument, were consistent with the evidence presented at trial, and were not expressions of her personal opinion regarding defense counsel's candor or Taylor's credibility. Furthermore, Judge Geroff instructed the jurors that counsel's arguments are not evidence and that their own recollections of the evidence should prevail. Therefore, the Pennsylvania Superior Court's denial of Petitioner's prosecutorial misconduct claim was not contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, federal law, nor was it an unreasonable application of the facts.
Second, Petitioner contends the prosecutor impermissibly speculated as to prior testimony of Petitioner's aunt. Two of Petitioner's aunts testified as alibi witnesses concerning Petitioner's whereabouts on the morning of the robbery and murders. Petitioner has not overcome the presumption that, by not objecting to the prosecutor's speculation regarding the testimony, his counsel's performance was deficient. An objection would have had little effect given that the jurors were warned that counsel's arguments were not evidence. Furthermore, even if defense counsel's performance was deficient, Petitioner did not suffer prejudice because, if his counsel's failure to object had any prejudicial effect at all, it was cured by the trial court's instruction not to consider counsel's arguments as evidence. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's eighth objection.
9. Jury Instructions
Ninth, Petitioner objects that his counsel was ineffective in failing to object to parts of Judge Geroff's jury instructions. Reviewing the jury charge as a whole, there is no question that the jury was sufficiently charged regarding the government's burden to prove Petitioner's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, contrary to Petitioner's contention, Judge Geroff's reference to the juror's "unpleasant duty" did not reflect the trial court's expectation that the jury find Petitioner guilty despite insufficient evidence. Indeed, the trial court used the phrase to distinguish a reasonable doubt that arises based on the insufficiency or lack of the evidence from a doubt imagined or manufactured from a juror's effort to avoid the duty to determine whether the government proved Petitioner's guilt. Therefore, the Court will overrule Petitioner's ninth objection.
C. General Objection
Eleventh, with exception to his claim regarding the sufficiency of the evidence, Petitioner generally objects to the "entire" Report and Recommendation. Pet'r's Objections 8. Although the Court has, at this point, considered the Report and Recommendation in full, Petitioner's general objection is overruled. See Brown, 649 F.3d at 195. Furthermore, Petitioner objects that he was prejudiced by his counsel's and the trial court's errors in isolation and cumulatively. As shown above, with one exception, each of Petitioner's grounds fails.*fn10
For the reasons provided, the Court will sustain Petitioner's objection regarding his Bruton claim. The Court will overrule all other objections and, with respect to the overruled objections approve and adopt the Report and Recommendation. The Court will grant the Habeas Petition and issue a conditional writ of habeas corpus directing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania either to release or retry Petitioner within 120 days.*fn11

- "Normal trip by train" Johana a. 28/11/2016
We travelled from Paris to Bayeaux. It was nice journey, only small delay. Train was comfortable, could have been cleaner but it was quite silent and quick.
- "Enjoyable Ride from Munich" Chaw Sing h. 28/11/2016
I took the ICE train from Munich Central Station to Frankfurt Airport. The total journey took about 5 hours, an hour longer than scheduled due to weather elements and stops along the way. The ride was comfortable, very affordable and extremely convenient. The Wifi was not working for some reason but I had dataroam so was not a problem. There was refreshments (add-on) and the seat was very comfortable. I would recommend this to flying if you can afford the time as you can view the scenery and the different towns it stopped along the way.

- "Straightforward trip" Sharnjit g. 25/11/2016
The tickets came on time although you may wish to consider online tickets :) The train was fairly easy to find. It was a busy service but fairly comfortable. The wifi was terrible and it stopped at one station for so long, I think I could have walked the entire length of the train a few times!
- "amsterdam centraal - eindhoven" Alistair c. 24/11/2016

- "Great way to travel" Margo o. 24/11/2016
Our train trip to Venice was efficient and cost effective. It was easy to purchase our tickets on Rail Europe, (although we did not get confirmation until almost 24 hours after the purchase was made.) Italo is a wonderful rail line. Very clean and comfortable. It is our first choice when traveling in Italy.

The Trains were very comfortable and the timings were also exact. All in all it was a very good journey.
- "had a great time!" Brigitte c. 24/11/2016
i would definitely travel with eurail again. next time i will book it all first class, as 2nd class often had issues with luggage storage. this is the one thing that eu trainsl could improve; in 2nd class especially. but it was easy to book and i saw a lot of the countries from the train. France's TGV was mazing!
- "Awesome" Vinay Kumar m. 23/11/2016
It was awesome going from Basel to Paris. Even though it is a bit expensive but got good value for money.
