022091P.pdf 11/12/2003 Michael E. Blackwell v. Leonard Graves
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-2091
Southern District of Iowa
Prisoner case - habeas. Iowa courts' rejection of prisoner's claims of
ineffective assistance of counsel was not an unreasonable application of
clearly established federal law; counsel's decision not to present
intoxication, insanity or diminished responsibility theories was a
reasonable trial strategy.
