Smith v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• because purported documents were not part of the record, it was impossible to determine whether they actually would have helped defense, and thus appellant failed to establish that his trial lawyer performed deficiently
• where appellant “made no proffer at the motion for new trial of what a different expert would have discovered and testified . . . [appellant] cannot show that his trial lawyer performed deficiently”
• where purported time sheets were not made a part of the record, it was impossible for appellate court to determine whether they would have helped the defense and therefore appellant failed to establish that his trial lawyer performed deficiently for not introducing them at trial
• defendant may not observe what he thinks is an injustice, fail to bring it to judge’s attention at a time when corrective action may be had, take a chance on a favorable verdict, and then when the verdict is unfavorable have a new trial because of what occurred
