United States Supreme Court
Renico v. Lett, 09-338
In a murder prosecution, a grant of petitioner's habeas petition is reversed where it was reasonable for the Michigan Supreme Court to determine that the trial judge had exercised sound discretion in declaring a mistrial, and thus the state court's decision was not an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law under a proper application of the AEDPA's deferential standard of review.
