Johnson v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• trial counsel’s decision not to call any witnesses based, in part, on fear of inconsistencies in testimony, was reasonable
• detective’s statement that 7 defendant could be charged with murder was a true statement emphasizing gravity of the situation the defendant faced
• no hope of benefit where defendant was warned not to lie because the investigator could, among other things, “get up and walk out this door and send [his] a** to the county jail”
• interrogator’s false claim concerning DNA evidence did not affect voluntariness of statement
• officer’s suggestion that defendant would be “well served by offering his version of events as a means of justifying or mitigating his role in the assaults” at issue did not render that defendant’s statement involuntary
• because there was admissible evidence on a point, the admission of hearsay evidence on that point did not in reasonable probability affect trial’s outcome so as to demonstrate that counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object
