United States Eleventh Circuit

In a capital habeas proceeding, the District Court's denial of Petitioner's petition is affirmed, where: 1) the state appellate court did not unreasonably apply federal law in finding that the prosecution's peremptory strikes were not racially motivated; and 2) the prosecution's improper bolstering of witnesses' credibility in closing argument did not prejudice Petitioner.
