Fast Horse v. Weber
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree kidnapping, second-degree rape, and aggravated assault. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions. Defendant subsequently filed an amended application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he was denied effective assistance of counsel, a fair trial, and due process of law. The habeas court denied the writ. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the habeas court correctly determined that Defendant failed to demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel; (2) Defendant's due process claim regarding cross-examination of the victim concerning her sexual activity before the rape and her post-rape drug charge were res judicata; and (3) the habeas court correctly determined that Defendant's remaining due process argument lacked evidentiary support.
