Description
Thomas Nevius appeals the district courts denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Nevius contends that (1) the prosecutors improper exercise of his peremptory challenges against minority veniremen deprived Nevius of a representative petit jury in violation of the sixth and fourteenth amendments; (2) the district court improperly denied Nevius request for an evidentiary hearing; (3) prosecutorial misconduct during closing arguments to the jury constituted reversible error; and (4) the indictment was defective in alleging first degree murder.
