Description

POLITZ, Circuit Judge: Robert C. Gilliard, a death-sentenced Mississippi prisoner, appeals the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, 28 U.S.C. Â§ 2254, contending that: (1) his guilty plea hearing was constitutionally infirm; (2) he was denied effective assistance of counsel; and (3) his sentencing hearing was tainted by the prosecutor's remarks about parole eligibility relating to a sentence of life imprisonment. Finding no error of constitutional proportions, we affirm.
