Robert Ira Peede, Petitioner v. Julie L. Jones, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, et al.

1. Whether a defendant who is deemed “difficult”, yet who in no way prohibited his counsel from investigating or presenting mitigation at the penalty phase of his capital trial, is precluded from subsequently complaining that his counsel performed ineffectively? 2. Whether a state court’s determination is entitled to deference in federal habeas proceedings when the state court’s analysis is based on an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law? 3. Whether a court’s decision to negate the value of clear mitigating evidence on the basis of perceived negative information that the jury would also have heard is objectively unreasonable?
