Description

Respondent Betty Mitchell ("the Warden") appeals the district court's grant of a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to Ohio death row inmate Jay D. Scott. The district court granted the writ on the basis of only one of the grounds raised in his petition, finding all of the other grounds either defaulted or meritless. Scott cross-appeals the court's rejection of his remaining arguments. After having the benefit of lengthy oral argument, and having given the careful consideration to the record and the parties' arguments that the gravity of the question before us demands, we are convinced that the district court erred in holding that the ground on which it granted the writ was not procedurally barred. Because we conclude that the district court correctly held that the other grounds raised by Scott's petition were either defaulted or without merit, we will reverse the issuance of the writ.
