Question Presented (from Petition)
1. May a state categorically exclude youth as a mitigating factor in a capital case?
2. Must a state court follow this Court's jurisprudence of Lockett v. Ohio, 438 U.S. 586 (1978), Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104 (1982), Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361 (1989), Johnson v. Texas, 509 U.S. 350 (1993), and Tennard v. Dretke, 542 U.S. 274 (2004), or may it ignore it?
3. Can appellate counsel be ineffective for failing to raise such a claim on direct appeal given this Court's clear precedent establishing error?
