Porter v. State

How courts have described this case

• holding impeachment evidence was not material to guilt or punishment when the failure to disclose did not undermine confidence in the outcome of defendant’s trial
• holding the fact that a witness did not identify the defendant at the crime scene was not material exculpatory evidence in view of other evidence of his guilt
• stating this court gives great deference to the PCR court's findings of fact and conclusions of law
• holding no evidence showed counsel’s failure to interview a potential witness would have yielded a result different from that which defendant’s counsel believed at the time of the plea; defendant pled guilty in light of the complete information that was available at that time
• holding no evidence showed counsel’s failure to interview a potential witness would have yielded a result different from that which defendant’s counsel believed at the time of the plea; defendant pled guilty in light of the complete information that was available at that time
• “Mere speculation of what a witness’ testimony may be is insufficient to satisfy the burden of showing prejudice in a petition for PCR.”
