Burton v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Robert Burton was convicted of aggravated robbery and residential burglary. Appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief, which the circuit court denied. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding Burton's counsel was not ineffective for failing to (1) voir dire two potential jurors to determine bias or prejudice as Burton failed to demonstrate any actual bias or prejudice, (2) seek suppression of the pretrial and in-court identification of him by one of the victims as Burton failed to explain what form the prejudice took or how serious it was, and (3) object to the admission of Burton's prior felony convictions as the prior convictions were admissible pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 5-4-502.
