Question Presented (from Petition)

Is an attorney constitutionally ineffective when he does not realistically convey to his client the consequences of failing to honor his plea agreement, and does not take reasonable steps to ensure he honors it, when the consequences are certain conviction and a near certain death sentence?

Is a denial of due process during state post-conviction proceedings cognizable in federal habeas corpus?
