Conviction and death sentence for arson, burglary, and first degree murder are affirmed over five certified claims, including due process violations, ineffective assistance of counsel, and evidentiary errors. Court declines to certify the uncertified claim that petitioner was denied a "full and fair" opportunity to litigate his Fourth Amendment search and seizure claims during the pretrial phase of his trial.
