1. Wainwright v. Sykes, No. 75-1578, SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, Argued March 29, 1977 , June 23, 1977; as amended Petition for Rehearing Denied October 3, 1977
OVERVIEW: Failure to timely object before trial to the admission of the inculpatory statements amounted to an independent and adequate state procedural ground which would prevent direct review by habeas corpus, absent a showing of cause and prejudice.
