Moore v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of a single count of felony larceny. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction and sentence, holding (1) any deficiency in Defendant's trial attorney's failure to challenge a certain juror for cause was not prejudicial, and therefore, counsel did not provide constitutionally ineffective assistance; (2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to grant Defendant's motion for a new trial based on the claim that another juror was mentally incompetent; and (3) Defendant could not prevail on his claim that the cumulative effect of the alleged errors warranted reversal of his conviction, as the doctrine did not apply in this case.
