Ninth Circuit: Francisco Garcia v. David Long (12/21)

AEDPA - Interrogations/Miranda.

State court holding that deft's post-Miranda response "no" to question "do you want to talk to us" was equivocal because of context hits the AEDPA trifecta - contrary to, and an unreasonable application of Supreme Court precedent and an unreasonable determination of the facts.

Centrality of admissions at trial establish error as not harmless.
