Kendrick v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was convicted of first degree premeditated murder for fatally shooting his wife. After Petitioner’s conviction was affirmed in direct appeal, Petitioner filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by deciding not to consult an expert to rebut the anticipated testimony of a prosecution expert and by not attempting to introduce a potentially favorable hearsay statement. The post-conviction court denied the petition. The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that Petitioner did not receive ineffective assistance from his trial counsel with regard to the issues before the Court on appeal. Remanded.
