Question Presented (from Petition)

Is Andrew Woodburn entitled to a remand for an evidentiary hearing and ultimately a new trial where he did not receive the effective assistance of counsel because his trial attorney did not sufficiently investigate to secure an expert for trial to present the only viable defense, the defense of temporary insanity based upon involuntary intoxication — an involuntary intoxication caused by the use of the prescribed medication Paxil?
