Vinson, 43, was sentenced to death for the 1997 murder of Angela Felton in Portsmouth.
Vinson argues that his counsel failed to sufficiently investigate the nature and extent of the perjured testimony of a grand jury witness, Priscilla Turner, prior to deciding not to call her as a witness at trial, and that they failed to object to assertedly erroneous statements made by the prosecutor in closing arguments.
Vinson also points to a statement made in an affidavit not submitted until the federal habeas proceedings in which Hunter claimed to have seen the perpetrator at a time that Vinson was undisputedly in police custody, and in which she contended the prosecution threatened her into testifying.

 ED86089: Ray Vinson, Jr., Respondent/Cross-Appellant v. Joe Adams, Appellant/Cross-Respondent.
He told Vinson "don't push your luck," "don't fuck with me" and "we're not in the same league now." Adams admitted that he told Vinson that he would "take him apart," but denied that he ever used the word "cut." He did not feel these were threats, just attempts to keep Vinson from being aggressive.
Vinson contends that the order allows Adams to be within ten feet of him, which is irreconcilable with the order's prohibitions on stalking and disturbing his peace and inconsistent with the PDL judgment allowing Vinson to conduct business in his usual manner at American Equity Mortgage.
Vinson and his wife have both sought orders of protection against each other, and the judgments on those petitions have been appealed separately in case number ED86116 (appeal from full order of protection entered against Vinson) and case number ED86117 (appeal from denial of Vinson's petition for order of protection against his wife).
