Tyreese Hall v. Gary Beckstrom

LUDINGTON, District Judge.

Tyreese Hall and his uncle beat a homeless man so viciously that the man fell into a coma and died 53 days later. As a result, Hall and his uncle were jointly tried and convicted of murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree sodomy. After the Kentucky Supreme Court denied Hall’s direct appeal, he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Western District of Kentucky. When the district court denied that petition, Hall filed this appeal. After review, the district court’s decision is AFFIRMED.
