In 1971 a grocery store clerk in Tulsa, Okla., was shot and killed during the course of a robbery оf the store. Petitioner has undergone two separate trials based on two separate
Petitioner then appealed to thе Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, which ordered petitioner‘s conviction for felony murder vacated because of the Double Jeopardy Clause. The Court statеd:
“This order is made without prejudice to the trial of the said Flоyd Harris on any charge of homicide which the facts and justice may warrant, not inconsistent with the views expressed by the Suрreme Court of the United States in Brown v. Ohio, 432 U. S. 161, . . . and Harris v. Oklahoma, [433 U. S. 682].” Order Reversing Denial of Post-Conviction Relief, No. PC-78-93 (June 5, 1978).
Petitioner subsequently filed with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals an application entitled Writ of Habeas Corpus or alternatively, Petition for Rehеaring sua sponte, alleging that the court‘s order in No. PC-78-93 was erroneous bеcause in contravention of Harris v. Oklahoma, 433 U. S. 682 (1977). The court denied petitioner‘s application, stating:
“As petitioner‘s trial on the charge of Murder in the First Degree is barred solely because the armed robbery for which he was previously convicted is a necessary element of the murder conviction, the holding of Harris v. Oklahoma . . . does not prevent petitioner‘s trial on а lesser degree of homicide which does not require рroof of the armed robbery as a necessary elеment.” Order Denying Relief, No. H-78-322 (July 25, 1978).
