What evidence was presented at trial and at the state habeas corpus evidentiary reference hearing?
The following excerpt is from Mayfield v. Woodford, 270 F.3d 915 (9th Cir. 2001):
1. We set forth throughout this opinion the evidence presented at trial and at the state habeas corpus evidentiary reference hearing because the United States Supreme Court has said that, in reviewing ineffective assistance of counsel claims, we must "evaluate the totality of the available mitigation evidence--both that adduced at trial, and the evidence adduced in the habeas proceeding--in reweighing it against the evidence in aggravation." Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 397-98 (2000).
