ORDER
CARR, District Judge.
This is a capital habeas corpus case arising from the petitioner’s conviction of one count of aggravated murder with specifications. The petitioner has exhausted his state court remedies.
For the reasons that follow, I find that all but one of the petitioner’s contentions is without merit. With regard to his contention that the evidence was insufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated murder, I, however, agree. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus shall, accordingly, be granted.
