Supreme Court of California

In habeas proceedings in a capital case, an order to show cause involving claims that petitioner was actually innocent of the crimes at a jewelry store and that his convictions were the unlawful product of false testimony is discharged as petitioner failed to establish either that he was actually innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted or that his criminal convictions were tainted by false testimony.
