1Opinion of the Court

BIRCH, Circuit Judge:

An Alabama jury found petitioner Thomas D. Arthur (“Arthur”) guilty of capital murder and recommended that he be sentenced to death. After exhausting his state court remedies, Arthur filed a federal habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The district court denied Arthur’s habeas petition, but granted a certificate of appealability (“COA”) on four issues. After a thorough review of the record, and having the benefit of oral argument and the parties’ briefs, we AFFIRM the district court’s judgment denying Arthur habeas relief.
