Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Petition for habeas relief by a defendant convicted of kidnapping and rape is denied where: 1) the prosecutor's questions did not directly or indirectly suggest that defendant might have invoked his right to remain silent; 2) defendant's double-jeopardy claim fails on its merits, and thus, his trial attorney was not constitutionally deficient in failing to raise the issue nor did the failure prejudice defendant; and 3) defendant failed to establish that habeas relief is warranted under his collateral-estoppel claim.
