Wright v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of robbery, and one count of carjacking. The trial court sentenced Defendant to death for each murder and to life imprisonment for each of his other convictions. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions and sentences. This appeal concerned Appellant’s renewed motion for determination of intellectual disability and his amended motion to vacate judgment and sentences. The postconviction court ultimately denied both motions. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) in regards to Appellant’s amended motion to vacate judgment and sentences, the postconviction court did not err in denying Appellant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel or his claim that the cumulative effect of those errors deprived him of a fair trial; and (2) in regards to Appellant’s renewed motion for intellectual disability, the postconviction court did not err in finding that Appellant is not intellectually disabled.
