United States Sixth Circuit

State court's reweighing of aggravating circumstances and mitigating factors as a cure for weighing errors at sentencing was not contrary to, and did not involve an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law; counsel was not ineffective for, among other things, failing to object to trial court's separate weighing of duplicative aggravating factors.
