• holding that although a federal court's review is limited to the last decision to ad dress the arguments on the merits, its deference to factual findings in state court is not so limited
• finding that increase in the dosage of defendant’s medication, on its own, is not sufficient evidence to rebut the state court's finding [of competence]” and distinguishing Burt as a case that included evidence of incompetence in addition to “ever-changing doses of psychotropic medication”
• adjustment in petitioner’s medication was not sufficient to call his competency into question
