Lyons v. State
Annotate this CaseKevin Lyons was convicted of two counts of first-degree child molestation. The Supreme Court affirmed. Lyons subsequently filed an application for postconviction relief, arguing that he had been prejudiced by ineffective assistance of counsel. The superior court denied the application, and the Supreme Court affirmed. Lyons then filed a second application for postconviction relief, relying on an array of arguments. The superior court denied Lyons' second application, finding that each of Lyons' claims either lacked merit or were barred by the doctrine of res judicata. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Lyons failed to carry his burden of proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that postconviction relief was warranted.
