IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 17-14570-P · judgment July 13, 2020


Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021

Questions presented

  1. Can a federal habeas court conducting a penalty phase Strickland analysis ignore post-conviction mitigating evidence that is materially different in quality, quantity and specificity solely because it is thematically similar to what was presented at trial?

  2. Can a federal habeas court determine that a state court decision was reasonable as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1) based exclusively on intervening precedent decided after the last reasoned state court opinion but before federal habeas concludes?
