• holding that a rule 23B court‘s finding wasn‘t clearly erroneous because ―enough evidence‖ supported the court‘s finding even though the court could have found the opposite but didn‘t
• holding that counsel need not introduce potential mitigating evidence if counsel \believes after a thorough investigation that it will harm the case or if other strategic reasons for its omission exist\
• identifying the issue on rule 23B remand as whether counsel had \provided ineffective assistance of counsel and in doing so prejudiced the outcome\
• “Failure to investigate mitigating factors can constitute ineffective assistance of counsel only where such factors actually exist and may be productively used in the penalty phase.”
