How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that where an additional witness’ testimony would be cumulative to testimony already provided, “[t]he state appellate court’s conclusion that [petitioner] had failed to show prejudice was not unreasonable”
- no ineffectiveness because counsel “may have . . . made a tactical choice not to provide curative jury instructions to avoid drawing further attention to the fact that the pictures were mug shots”
