Text: ¶ 83. Once again Walker attempts to relitigate a claim decided on direct appeal. This issue relates to the removal, for cause, of prospective juror Melinda Zappie. This claim was raised on direct appeal and decided against Walker. 671 So.2d at 629. Because this claim has already been litigated and decided on direct appeal, it cannot be relitigated on post-conviction review. See Miss.Code Ann. § 99-39-21(3); Wiley, 750 So.2d at 1200; Foster, 687 So.2d at 1129, 1138, 1140; Wiley, 517 So.2d at 1377. Walker is not entitled to any relief on this claim.
