United States Eighth Circuit

Denial of habeas relief, based on claim that counsel was ineffective for allowing the introduction of evidence pertaining to defendant's invocation of the right to remain silent and speak with an attorney, is affirmed where defendant failed to demonstrate prejudice and the state court's decision was neither contrary to nor involved in an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law.
