In re Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus of John William Hawkins

[78 Wash2d Page 390] The petitioner, by way of habeas corpus, seeks to have a verdict and sentence of death imposed upon him set aside. He contends
that the process of selecting the jury violated his right to an impartial jury within the contemplation of the sixth and fourteenth
amendments to the United States Constitution, as those amendments have been interpreted and applied by the United States Supreme
Court in the cases of Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U.S. 510, 20 L. Ed. 2d 776, 88 S. Ct. 1770 (1968), and Boulden v. Holman,
394 U.S. 478, 22 L. Ed. 2d 433, 89 S. Ct. 1138 (1969).
