state court's application of the Strickland standard for a defense counsel's duty

Ramonez v. Berghuis, No. 06-1852
Denial of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging a conviction for home invasion, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, and aggravated stalking is reversed where a state court's application of the Strickland standard for a defense counsel's duty to investigate was unreasonable in regard to his failure to investigate and call three witnesses to the alleged crime.
