Morrow v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of one count of first-degree premeditated murder and two counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions on appeal. Defendant later filed a petition for postconviction relief, arguing that appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise several issues on appeal. The postconviction court denied the petition without holding an evidentiary hearing. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant could not show prejudice from his appellate counsel’s alleged errors, and therefore, the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion by denying Defendant’s postconviction motion without holding an evidentiary hearing.
