Decision released August 10, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pamela A. Mitchell, for the appellant (petitioner).

James A. Killen, assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (respondent).

PETERS, C. J., CALLAHAN, BORDEN, BERDON and NORCOTT, JS.


BORDEN, J.

The petitioner, Jonathan Watley, appeals1 from the judgment of the habeas court dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The habeas court concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate good cause for his failure to pursue at trial his claim of unconstitutional jury composition that was the basis of his habeas petition. We reverse the judgment of the habeas court and remand the case for further proceedings.
