Rоbert wаs cоnvicted оf First Degree Murder. His cаse wаs appealed in a habeas corpus petition to the U.S. Supreme Court on an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. During the trial, Robert’s counsel determined not to seek psychiatric reports since a psychiatric exam conducted by the state after Robert’s arraignment had stated there was no indication of mental illness. The attorney instead relied on a plea colloquy and thereby cut off the state’s use of psychiatric rebuttal testimony. Furthermore, in reviewing the state habeas corpus petition the state supreme court concluded that the aggravating circumstances were so overwhelming that no substantial prejudice resulted from the absence at the sentencing of the psychiatric evidence. In examining Robert’s habeas corpus appeal, how should the U.S. Supreme Court rule?
