Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Due Process
Dist. Ct. erred in denying petitioner-prisoner’s habeas petition that challenged respondent’s decision to revoke 90 days of petitioner’s good-time credits based on finding that petitioner possessed heroin in his cell. Petitioner claimed that one officer who conducted search of petitioner’s cell on day in question told him that no drugs were found in his cell, and petitioner was entitled to have said officer testify at his revocation hearing, especially where written report contained discrepancy as to which cell heroin was found. Record also failed to contain sufficient foundation regarding method of testing heroin and relevant chain of custody.
