1Opinion of the Court

BRUNETTI, Circuit Judge:

James Kealohapauole (“Kealohapauole”) appeals the district court’s denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his conviction for murder and for hindering prosecution in the first degree. Kealohapauole contends that the videotape recording of the second autopsy performed on the victim should not have been admitted by the state trial court because it was prejudicial resulting in a denial of his due process rights. We disagree and affirm.
