U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 01-3272
Western District of Missouri
Prisoner case - habeas. Prisoner failed to develop the factual basis for
his claim that counsel was ineffective during the penalty phase of his
death penalty case and was not entitled to an evidentiary haring on the
claim; court could not disturb Missouri courts' conclusion that confession
was not coerced.
