his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination?
2. Did the Third Circuit erred in deferring to the state court's
finding that Petitioner was not prejudiced by trial counsel's
failure to supply the courts with additional critical information
at the suppression hearing; which could of have changed the
outcome at suppression hearing such as fear of police,
neurological conditions (mental health) ?
