Holding: Because Danny Hill’s intellectual disability claim must be evaluated based solely on holdings of the Supreme Court that were clearly established at the time the state-court decisions were rendered, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit’s reliance on Moore v. Texas — which was handed down much later — was plainly improper.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded in a per curiam opinion on January 7, 2019.
