State v. Fernando-Granados
Annotate this CaseIn 2003, Appellant was convicted of first degree murder and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony. Appellant’s convictions were affirmed on direct appeal. In 2012, Appellant filed a motion for postconviction relief, alleging, inter alia, ineffective assistance of counsel on several grounds. The trial court dismissed the claims without an evidentiary hearing. Appellant appealed the dismissal of his ineffective assistance of counsel claim. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, given the great weight of the evidence against him, there was no ineffective assistance of counsel because even finding the allegations true would not have been prejudicial to Appellant’s case.
