following the Court’s grant of a Writ of Certiorari to consider our affirmance of
the district court’s denial of habeas relief. The Supreme Court reversed our
judgment and remanded this case to us for further proceedings consistent with
the opinion of the Court. Accordingly, we remand this case to the District Court
for Northern District of Texas from whence it came, with instructions to grant
habeas corpus relief to the Petitioner by reversing and vacating the sentence of
death by lethal injection imposed and affirmed by the courts of the State of
Texas and remanding this case to those courts with instruction to the State of
Texas either to conduct a new punishment-phase trial within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the federal district court’s remand or, in lieu thereof, to
impose the appropriate prison sentence in light of the date on which the
Petitioner committed his crime of conviction.
REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions.
