Whether Petitioner is entitled to habeas corpus relief

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Morgan, 962 F.2d 1185 (6th Cir. 1992), 2. Whether Petitioner is entitled to de novo review of, and relief on, his grand jury discrimination claim because the state court judgment denying relief was contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, Alexander v. Louisiana, 405 U.S. 625 (1972), and its predecessors. i
