DUHE, Circuit Judge: Petitioner was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. Having exhausted both his direct appeals and state habeas remedies, he now seeks federal relief. The district court denied Petitioner's application for the writ of habeas corpus. We affirm. Background After a jury trial, Petitioner was convicted of capital murder.1 During the later sentencing phase, the jury answered affirmatively two special issues regarding (1) the deliberateness of James's actions, and (2) the probability of his future dangerousness to society. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 37.071(b) (West 1981).2 James was sentenced to death. His conviction and sentence were affirmed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. James v. State, 772 S.W.2d 84 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989).
