Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit November 6, 1980, Nos. 80-1262, 80-1286 (Grigsby v. Mabry)

lead-opinion

LAY, Chief Judge.

Petitioner Grigsby was convicted of capital felony murder in Franklin County Circuit Court for the State of Arkansas. In 1978, Grigsby filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in district court, alleging, among other grounds, that the determination of his guilt by a “death-qualified” jury deprived him of trial by a fair and impartial jury.
