Hunt v. Commissioner, AL Dept. of Corrections

Justia.com Opinion Summary: Petitioner was convicted of capital murder and subsequently sought a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in violation of his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The court rejected defendant's claims and concluded that the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals did not unreasonably apply federal law or unreasonably determine the facts when it rejected defendant's claims. Accordingly, petitioner failed to meet his burden under 28 U.S.C. 2254(d) and the court affirmed the denial of the petition.
