   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  01-3685
                          and No:  02-1361
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Habeas Corpus - Death penalty. District court's conditional 
   grant of habeas corpus, to become permanent unless the state 
   permits defendant to withdraw his guilty plea and have a trial, 
   and the district court's denial of other claims unlawful use 
   of confession, ineffective assistance of counsel, and due 
   process violations are affirmed. State court's conclusion 
   that the extremely limited exchanges at which defendant waived 
   right to trial, right to counsel, and allowed prosecutor to 
   proceeding immediately to the penalty phase were adequate was 
   not a reasonable application of clearly established federal law. 
   State court also failed to consider impact of defendant's mental health.
