Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is reversed

Miller v. Vannatta, No. 05-3978 (7th Cir. March 15, 2007)
Denial of petition for writ of habeas corpus is reversed and remanded with instructions to grant the petition where the Indiana Court of Appeals unreasonably applied federal law in concluding that defense counsel's decision to stand mute at defendant's sentencing hearing did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel.
