Crews v. Farina

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on November 10, 2014.

Docket No.13-1227
Op. Below11th Cir.

Issue

Whether a habeas court may evade the highly deferential standard of review in the habeas statute by characterizing its legal and policy differences with the state court as unreasonable factual determinations and grant the writ on the basis of ineffectiveness of appellate counsel when the state court held that the cross-examination of the mitigation witness was not fundamental error under state law.
