United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus is affirmed where the state court reasonably concluded that petitioner was unable to establish prejudice because of his attorney's failure to seeking suppression of the confession since the court's finding that the confession was voluntary was neither contrary to Supreme Court precedent nor derived from an unreasonable application of that precedent.
