103465P.pdf   12/08/2011  Gerald Elam  v.  Larry Denney
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3465
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Prisoner case - habeas. Both the trial court and the Missouri Court of
   Appeals correctly applied the Supreme Court's clearly established
   competency standard; failure to present cumulative evidence did not
   constitute ineffective assistance of counsel, and trial counsel reasonably
   decided that the doctor he produced was best positioned to testify as to
   Elam's current medical condition.
