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.
