    In today's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opinions, the court affirmed in part and vacated in part the district court’s judgment denying relief on George H. Wharton’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition challenging his conviction and capital sentence for first-degree murder, and remanded for further proceedings.
