KORNMANN, District Judge,
concurring.
I concur fully that Frasier’s claims are procedurally defaulted. I do not endorse the language of the court’s opinion to the effect that Frasier’s claims fail for the reasons stated in his co-defendant Tun-stall’s case. Tunstall v. Hopkins, 306 F.3d 601 (8th Cir.2002). I believe the state trial court did have “a duty to voir dire the jury under the circumstances presented” although, as stated, such claims are now procedurally defaulted. I respectfully continue to endorse the views expressed in my dissent in Tunstall.
