CA1: A pretty normal habeas denial

Malone v. Dennehy, No. 07-1613.  This is an affirmance of an IAC habeas denial.  In particular, the petitioner contends that his lawyer should have subpoenaed a cop who might have discredited the victim. The state courts applied the state version of Strickland.  Whatever the case, the First says it would not make much of a difference.
