Coram nobis and/or habeas corpus relief from his prior conviction of murder while engaged in robbery, and death penalty sentence, is the thrust of Leo E. Edwards amended application before us. Edwards v. State, 413 So. 2d 1007 (Miss. 1982). Facts set forth in the Edwards opinion show that he fatally shot the store clerk during the robbery - he was the trigger man. After this Courts affirmance as per the cited case, Edwards sought and was denied a writ of certiorari by the United States Supreme Court on October 12, 1982. His execution is presently stayed by order of the Supreme Court of Mississippi. We here address his application for post-conviction relief which was responded to by the attorney generals office.
