Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus in a murder case is affirmed where the state's expert's testimony that petitioner was a "slinger" and a "banger" was cumulative of other evidence suggesting he was violent and involved in the drug trade, and the testimony did not have a substantial and injurious effect on the jury's verdict.
