United States Second Circuit
Cornell v. Kirkpatrick, 10-561
In an appeal from a judgment of the district court denying plaintiff's petition for habeas relief from his conviction for rape, judgment is reversed where: 1) trial counsel's failure to object to venue resulted in defendant receiving ineffective assistance of counsel; and 2) the state court unreasonably applied clearly established federal law.
