Text: 3 On May 16, 1988, Wilson was convicted in Oregon of felony murder under Or.Rev.Stat. (ORS) § 163.115 and aggravated murder under ORS § 163.095. Wilson was sentenced to serve two consecutive life terms. On April 13, 1989, the Board held a parole hearing pursuant to ORS § 144.120. The Board considered Wilson's presentence report, letters and testimony from the victims' family, and letters from the prosecuting attorney and Wilson. The Board denied parole based, in part, on his uncharged criminal conduct and on the heinous nature of the offense. 4 After exhausting his state remedies, Wilson filed for federal habeas corpus relief from the allegedly unconstitutional Board determination. On September 18, 1991, the district court denied Wilson's petition for relief. Wilson timely appealed.
