United States Eleventh Circuit

Death row inmate is denied habeas relief where: 1) claims of an inappropriate relationship between the judge, jurors and bailiff are procedurally barred; 2) permitting full discovery from all mental health experts consulted by defense counsel was harmless error given that there was no viable insanity and mental illness defense nor a viable actual innocence defense; and 3) ineffective assistance claims are unavailing.
