How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding deficient performance where counsel failed to consult psychological expert despite knowing defendant’s mental state was central to his strategy and obtaining funds for the purpose
- failure to consult expert constitutes error when facts known to counsel raise \reasonable doubt\ as to defendant's mental condition
- erroneous denial of motion to suppress would have been harmless where evidence was \so overwhelming that we cannot say admission of the [improper evidence] was likely to have influenced the jury's decision to convict\
