Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA): because
the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision in this case was not unreasonable under
AEDPA, the Sixth Circuit erred in granting Lett habeas relief; AEDPA imposes a
“highly deferential standard for evaluating state court rulings,” Lindh v.
Murphy, 521 U. S. 320, 333, n. 7, and “demands that they be given the
benefit of the doubt,” Woodford v. Visciotti, 537 U. S. 19, 24 (per
curiam); when a judge discharges a jury on the grounds that the jury cannot
reach a verdict, the Double Jeopardy Clause does not bar a new trial for the
defendant before a new jury, Perez, 9 Wheat., at 579–580 (U.S. S. Ct.,
03.05.10, Renico v. Lett, C.J. Roberts).
