Jerome Burgess v. Phil Hall, Warden
1. Did the Georgia Supreme Court err in failing to find
that Petitioner's appellate counsel provided ineffective
assistance by failing to argue on appeal that the
State's failure to disclose exculpatory evidence
violated its obligation under Brady v. Maryland , 373
U.S. 83 (1963)?
2. Did the Georgia Supreme Court err in failing to
find that Petitioner's appellate counsel provided
ineffective assistance by failing to argue on appeal
that trial counsel was ineffective under Strickland v.
Washington , 466 U.S. 668 (1984) for failing to crossexamine Petitioner's codefendant about his plea of
guilty but mentally retarded, his IQ test scores, and
evidence that he had malingered during psychological
testing related to his plea of incompetence?
