OPINION

In this habeas case, Larry Stewart claims that a Confrontation Clause violation and prosecutorial misconduct undermined the fairness of his murder trial. But because the state court did not unreasonably reject these claims, we must reject his petition. We reverse the district court's contrary decision.
