Johnson v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Jermiko Johnson was found guilty by a jury of sexual assault in the second degree. Appellant subsequently filed a verified pro se petition for postconviction relief, claiming (1) he was not afforded effective assistance of counsel at trial because his attorney failed to subpoena certain witnesses, (2) there was prosecutorial misconduct at his trial, and (3) the prosecution's use of the testimony of the victim and her mother to convict him of the offense was a denial of due process and equal protection of law because the victim and her mother were mentally incompetent. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to raise any ground that entitled him to relief under the postconviction rule.
