Op. Below6th Cir.
OpinionJun 11, 2012
Holding
The Sixth Circuit"s decision setting aside two twenty-nine-year-old murder convictions is reversed because it is a textbook example of the use of federal habeas corpus review to second-guess the reasonable decisions of state courts, which the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) proscribes.
Judgment
Reversed on Jun 11, 2012.
