Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit April 18, 2002, No. 01-2710 (Gibson v. Walls)

ORDER

Sherman Gibson was found guilty by an Illinois jury of murder, but on appeal the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction. See People v. Gibson, 136 Ill.2d 362, 144 Ill.Dec. 759, 556 N.E.2d 226 (Ill. 1990). On retrial Gibson was once again found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. After exhausting his state remedies, Gibson petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C.
