Whether this Court should summarily reverse a fact-bound application of Strickland’s prejudice requirement in the context of Arizona’s now-obsolete judicial sentencing regime, where it is undisputed that counsel performed deficiently and failed to uncover a statutory mitigator and the panel correctly identified and applied the deferential governing standards from Strickland and this Court’s precedents interpreting and applying AEDPA.
