Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether the prejudice prong set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), is established if a petitioner/defendant can demonstrate that a mistrial would have been granted by the trial court had defense counsel properly moved for a mistrial (i.e., the result of the proceeding would have been different, because the trial would have ended in a mistrial rather than a guilty verdict).
2. Whether the court of appeals in this case improperly applied the "reasonable jurists could debate" certificate of appealability standard articulated by the Court in Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2003).
