Description
William Hamilton Little was tried and convicted of capital murder by a Texas jury on April 5, 1985. Having exhausted his state court remedies, Little unsuccessfully sought federal habeas relief in the district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ร§ 2254. Littles primary contention in this petition, among several asserted, concerns the trial courts failure to introduce the "confession" of another man who claimed to have committed the murder to which Little also confessed. Finding no basis for the issuance of a certificate of probable cause ("CPC"), this court denies Littles 28 U.S.C. ร§ 2253 motion.
