How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the defendant had failed to show prejudice where challenged testimony on hearsay grounds was cumulative
  • concluding that no prejudice resulted from counsel’s failure to object to certain challenged testimony, where the testimony was cumulative of other evidence introduced at trial, the admission of which the defendant did not challenge
  • holding that evidence that another person may have been at the crime scene at some unknown point in time and had been convicted of an unrelated crime did not raise a reasonable inference of appellant’s innocence
  • explaining that “‘(t)his Court has equated the prejudice step of the plain error standard with the prejudice prong for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim’”
  • concluding prejudice from presumed error and presumed deficiencies of counsel was insufficient to reverse where “[t]he jury heard a significant amount of incriminating testimony” unrelated to the presumed errors
  • holding counsel was not deficient where appellant “offer[ed] no evidence in support of this claim other than suggesting that additional investigation could have led to exculpatory evidence”
