Summary

Trial counsel was ineffective in this capital case by failing to investigate or present mental health defenses when trial counsel knew the defendant was a long-term methamphetamine addict, with a long history of intentionally injuring himself and exacerbating the wound by pouring foreign liquids into them, who had attempted suicide, and whose ex-wife opined he was “crazy.”
