Description
Jackson, a Georgia state prisoner, appeals from the District Court's denial of his petition for habeas corpus relief. He contends that he was denied the assistance of competent counsel; that he was the victim of an illegal arrest, search, and seizure; that he was illegally detained and interrogated, and denied a preliminary hearing and bail; and that he was indicted and convicted by illegally selected grand and petit juries. After a jury trial, Jackson, who was represented by court-appointed counsel, was convicted of murder. The death penalty initially imposed was later commuted to life imprisonment. The conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. Jackson v. State, 1964, 219 Ga. 819, 136 S.E.2d 375. The trial court denied a motion for a new trial; this denial was affirmed. Jackson v. State, 1964, 220 Ga. 375, 138 S.E.2d 880.
