Facts
D met his estranged wife leaving a school after she had just dropped off their son. They talked for a short time, and D pulled out a gun and D chased his wife down firing several shots at her. When she was on the ground, he reloaded and placed the gun at her head and fired several more times. D claimed mitigation from intoxication and mental disturbances and because of this diminished capacity he could not have formed the intent to kill. D was found guilty of first-degree murder. His appeals were denied, and eventually, he filed this habeas corpus writ.
