“Secondly, the same issue, although differently assigned, was reviewed and determined upon the defendant's direct appeal and is therefore res judica-ta.... This issue was decided against the defendant and is final, notwithstanding that [Price and Causey ], cases upon which he here leans heavily for support, had not yet been decided.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“I. Did the defendant waive his objection to the State's interrogating the prospective jurors with reference to their beliefs concerning the death penalty, by stipulating that the examination not be reported? IL. - Was the verdict of guilty ... invalid by reason of the State's having so interrogated the veniremen? What the defendant is saying is that it is not necessary for us to know the specific questions asked of the prospective jurors, since we know generally that they were related to death penalty sentiments. But we do not know that such questions were asked, only that they were objected to and that the trial judge did not consider them to be improper. We are asked, then, to conclude that certain questions were asked from a record that merely disclosed an in limine motion to preclude them and an adverse ruling upon the motion. This we cannot do. There are two additional reasons why we cannot go to the second issue. Layton IIL, 307 N.E.2d at 478-79 .”
