Jackson v. State
Annotate this CasePetitioner was convicted of first-degree murder committed for the benefit of a gang and attempted first-degree murder committed for the benefit of a gang. The Supreme Court affirmed Petitioner's convictions. Petitioner subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief, claiming several violations of his right to counsel. The postconviction court denied Petitioner's petition without a hearing. The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the postconviction court, holding that Petitioner was not entitled to postconviction relief on his claims of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel when his petition did not identify any prejudice resulting from the failure of Petitioner's counsel to raise specific challenges o the State's evidence and did not identify any federal constitutional claims that counsel unreasonably failed to raise.
