1. Whether an ineffective assistance claim may be based on counsel's
failure to exercise a state-law right to introduce residual doubt evidence at a capital
sentencing?

2. Whether counsel provides ineffective assistance at capital sentencing if
they fail to establish the defendant's lesser moral culpability by demonstrating that
he did not kill a victim, even if the lesser culpability proof fails to negate all
aggravating (eligibility) factors?

3. Whether it constitutes deficient performance under Strickland v.
Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 688 (1984), if trial counsel postpones their preparations
for sentencing until a brief post-guilt phase recess? And if deficient, can counsel's
performance be excused, if omitted mitigation evidence fails to explain why the
defendant committed the offense?
