Gregory Resnover v. Linley E. Pearson, Attorney General of Indiana, and Richard Clark, Superintendent, Indiana State Prison

BAUER, Chief Judge.

At approximately 5:30 a.m. on December 11, 1980, Sergeant Jack Ohrberg of the Indianapolis Police was gunned down as he attempted to serve arrest warrants on certain individuals believed to reside at 3544 North Oxford Street in Indianapolis. Plaintiff-appellant Gregory Resnover and his co-defendant at trial, Tommie Smith, have been sentenced to die in the electric chair as a result of Ohrberg’s murder. Resnover now stands before this court and requests relief from his conviction and sentence. We decline. Instead, we affirm the district court’s denial of habeas corpus.
