QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Question #1: TRAIL AND APPELLATE COUNSEL PROVIDED INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE FOR FAILING TO INVESTIGATE AND PRESENT THE PRE-TRIAL DEFENSE OF ENTRAPMENT BY ESTOPPEL. Question #2: APPELLATE COURT SHOULD HAVE ISSUED CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY OF HABEAS ISSUE #1) INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL FOR FAILURE TO PURSUE A DEFENSE OF ENTRAPMENT BY ESTOPPEL. REASONABLE JURIST COULD DEBATE WHETHER ISSUE #1 SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED DIFFERENTLY, BECAUSE MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BERNSTEIN WOULD HAVE GRANTED LEAVE TO APPEAL. | | . | | | | | | |
