Text: -6- On June 5, 2012, the circuit court granted an evidentiary hearing on some of Boyd’s claims. On August 28 and 29, 2012, the circuit court held an evidentiary hearing on Boyd’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel for failure to conduct adequate voir dire concerning jurors’ prior criminal histories, juror misconduct, and ineffective assistance of penalty phase counsel for failure to move for a mistrial based on inflammatory and prejudicial comments. In a sixty-two page order, dated January 2, 2013, the circuit court denied these three claims and summarily denied Boyd’s remaining claims. Boyd now appeals the lower court’s order denying postconviction relief and also petitions for a writ of habeas corpus.
