Adams v. Bertrand, 453 F.3rd 428 (7th Cir. 2006)(trial counsel’s failure to investigate properly a crucial witness, stemming from an intransigence regarding his trial strategy, however, constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals acted unreasonably in its application of Strickland to the facts on this point. We, therefore, REVERSE the decision of the district court and REMAND with instructions to grant the writ, unless the state gives Adams a new trial within 120 days.
