Question Presented (from Petition)
I. On remand, did the Texas court reject this Court's conclusions in Andrus v. Texas, 140 S.Ct. 1875 (2020), which were amply supported by the habeas and trial records, and did the Texas court disregard this Court's express guidance for conducting a prejudice analysis pursuant to Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 688 (1984)?
II. Does the Texas court's failure to adhere to this Court's decision conflict with our constitutional system of vertical stare decisis and create widespread confusion regarding the proper legal standard that courts must use in assessing whether the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel is violated in death-penalty cases?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether the Texas court rejected this Court's conclusions in Andrus v. Texas and disregarded the Court's express guidance for conducting a prejudice analysis under Strickland v. Washington
