United States First Circuit

Affirming the district court's denial of a writ of habeas corpus arising from convictions for first-degree murder, counts of armed robbery, and unlawful possession of a firearm because the admission of a witness's plea agreement was not prejudicial where the court made instruction regarding the inferences that could be drawn from the plea, flaws in jury instruction did not result in an unreasonable application of due process law, and counsel was not ineffective as a result of several decisions made in the course of the trial relating to strategy.
