Description

Petitioners, Terry Lee Gully and Billy Ray Gully, are in state custody in Kentucky awaiting a retrial for murder and other crimes after their earlier convictions were reversed on appeal. The State did not seek the death penalty at the first trial, but the trial court has now ruled that petitioners may be subjected on retrial to the provisions of Kentucky's recently enacted death penalty statute. The question in this case is whether petitioners are entitled to "pre-trial" habeas corpus relief on the ground that their retrial subject to the risk of receiving the death penalty upon conviction will offend principles of due process and double jeopardy.
