   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2013
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Prisoner case - habeas. Claim that counsel was ineffective at 
   murder trial when he asked Noel if he had been advised to 
   exercise his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent must 
   be rejected, as the decision to ask the question was part of 
   a professionally reasonable trial strategy; claim that Arkansas 
   Supreme Court denied his right to meaningful review by 
   using an abstracted record rejected; district court did not 
   err in refusing to authorize further brain scans; fact that 
   victims' mother now favored a life sentence did not 
   constitute a recantation of her victim impact testimony 
   and did not provide any basis for relief.
