CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ.,
would grant the stay in order to consider the Caldwell v. Mississippi issue in this case. That issue, in relator’s case, has not yet been considered by the federal courts. The jury in relator’s trial, as in Caldwell, was told esséntially that extensive appellate review would follow their verdict; in effect that the jury’s verdict was only an interim step. See Caldwell v. Mississippi, 472 U.S. 320, 105 S.Ct. 2633, 86 L.Ed.2d 231 (1985).
