Abstract
In Jones v. Ryan, 52 F.4th 1104 (9th Cir. 2022), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed Danny Lee Jones’s habeas corpus petition challenging his death sentence in Arizona after he was convicted of two murders. The court found that Mr. Jones’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was supported by meeting the two criteria established in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984), specifically highlighting counsel’s failure to hire a mental health expert to explore potentially mitigating evidence in his case.
在Jones诉Ryan一案中，《联邦判例汇编》第52卷第4卷第1104页（第九巡回上诉法院，2022年），第九巡回法院审查了Danny Lee Jones在亚利桑那州对其死刑判决提出质疑的人身保护令请愿书，此前他被判犯有两起谋杀罪。法院发现，Jones先生关于律师协助无效的说法得到了支持，符合《美国最高法院判例汇编》第466卷第668页（1984年）斯特里克兰诉华盛顿案中确立的两项标准，特别强调了律师未能聘请心理健康专家来探索其案件中可能减轻处罚的证据。
