How later courts describe this case
- the purpose of Giglio is “to ensure that the jury know the facts that motivate a witness to testify”
- same procedural bar arises for failure to appeal under current Missouri Rule 29.15
- a belief by an attorney "that his client may be in a better position to negotiate a reduced penalty should he testify against a co-defendant is not an agreement within the purview of Giglio "
