His appeal includes:

On July 13, 1987, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Darryl Lee and his partner responded to a call about a dead body lying in an alleyway behind a residence on East 27th Street. Upon arriving at the location, the officer observed the body of an African-American woman, naked from the waist down with her shirt pulled up over her bra. She was wearing only one sock and no shoes. None of her missing clothing was found in the alley. Lee noticed "drag marks . . . in the dirt" near the woman's feet. It appeared to Lee that the woman had been killed elsewhere and her body then dumped in the alley. The dead woman was later identified as Linda Alford by her daughter. 

Dr. Irwin Golden, now retired, testified that in 1987 he was a deputy medical examiner in the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. His autopsy revealed that the cause of death was asphyxia as a result of manual strangulation. Alford had sustained multiple bruises near her jawline, hemorrhages in and around her eyes, and scratches and abrasions to her neck, some of which were caused by fingernails. Hemorrhaging beneath her scalp and temporal area was "characteristic of a blunt injury . . . a blow or a bump to the head," and was consistent with Alford having been punched in the head. The autopsy revealed hemorrhaging to Alford's voice box and hyoid bone, "the U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue which aids swallowing." All of these injuries had been caused prior to death. A toxicology report showed that Alford had consumed alcohol and cocaine prior to her death.
