The Supreme Court reversed the judgment and remanded the case for a new trial. After a retrial, Petitioner was again convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed. Petitioner filed the instant petition alleging that a witness who testified on retrial recanted her testimony implicating him.
