United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed where the decision of the Illinois Appellate Court affirming the denial of postconviction relief was neither an unreasonable determination of the facts nor an unreasonable application of federal law since the record did not raise a bona fide doubt as to petitioner's mental fitness.
