Felony Murder Habeas Petition

In Premo v. Moore, No. 09-658, a felony murder prosecution, the court reversed the Ninth Circuit’s reversal of the district court’s denial of petitioner’s habeas petition where 1) the state court would not have been unreasonable to accept as a justification for counsel’s action that suppression of petitioner’s confession would have been futile in light of petitioner’s other admissible confession to two witnesses; and 2) the state court also reasonably could have concluded that petitioner was not prejudiced by counsel’s actions.
