In Re Steven Michael Backstrom
1- a) Does a failure by trial counsel to investigate known-to-be
material facts and/or witnesses, constitute federally defined
ineffective assistance of counsel? If so, b) would the submission
of a sworn affidavit in defense of ineffective assistance of coun
sel allegations in habeas corpus, rife with material misrepresen
tations of material fact constitue an admission by conduct? If so,
has any federal right been violated?
2- Was Relator deprived of his Fourteenth Amendment right to due
process where his trial was a platform for material perjury?
3- Does a cumulated sentence contrary to state law constitute
cruel and unusual punishment as defined within the Eighth Amend
ment of the U.S. Constitution?
Does a failure by trial counsel to investigate known-to-be material facts constitute ineffective assistance of counsel, and would material misrepresentations in a habeas corpus affidavit violate federal rights?
