Appellant’s amended motion alleged that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate appellant’s mental health for purposes of mitigation evidence in the penalty phase and that counsel was ineffective for failing to obtain one or more mental health professionals who could have performed a battery of psychological tests and might have testified to some mental disease or defect that would have negated appellant’s guilt, found him incompetent to go to trial, reflected inability to deliberate, or persuaded the jury that life in prison was the appropriate punishment.
