Dismissed
The court's record, as written
021660 Yarbrough v. Warden 03/03/2005 In a petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging deprivation of the Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel during penalty phase proceedings in a capital murder case, petitioner failed to demonstrate that his defense was prejudiced by trial counsel's failure to investigate and present available mitigation evidence. The record does not demonstrate that, but for trial counsel's alleged failures, there is a reasonable probability that the result of the penalty phase proceeding would have been different. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed.
