MEMORANDUM OPINION
SMALKIN, District Judge.
Anthony Grandison is a prisoner of the State of Maryland, under a sentence of death arising out of his conviction of the murder for hire of two individuals who, he thought, were to be witnesses against him in a federal criminal prosecution. The evidence at his trial showed that he hired a Mr. Evans to actually carry out the mur ders of David Scott Piechowicz and Cheryl Piechowicz. (The intended female victim, Cheryl Piechowicz, was not working with her husband on the date of the murders, so Susan Kennedy, substituting for her, was killed in her stead.)
