Mr. Blanco was convicted of the 1982 murder of John Ryan, who was fatally shot during a home burglary. His first death sentence was vacated on federal appeal and he was sentenced a second time. The jury voted 10-2 to recommend a death sentence and the trial court again imposed a death sentence. This court upheld his second death sentence and Mr. Blanco filed a post-conviction appeal in trial court. It was denied and he challenges that decision in this appeal.
