TURNER (MELVIN) ON H.C.
Petition for writ of habeas corpus denied (AA)
This petition for writ of habeas corpus was filed in this court on April 19, 2013, before the effective date of Proposition 66, the “Death Penalty Reform and Savings Act of 2016.” (See Briggs v. Brown et al. (2017) 3 Cal.5th 808, 862, rehg. den. Oct. 25, 2017.) Under section 1509, subdivision (g) of the Penal Code, the court exercises its authority to retain this petition and decide it.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied.
All claims are denied on the merits.
Claims 2 through 6 are procedurally barred under In re Miller (1941) 17 Cal.2d 734, 735, to the extent they were raised and rejected in connection with petitioner's first petition for writ of habeas corpus (In re Turner, S037486) and second petition for writ of habeas corpus (In re Turner, S069718). (See also In re Reno (2012) 55 Cal.4th 428, 496-497.)
