Kenneth R. Isom v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Isom’s postconviction petition, concluding that none of his ineffective-assistance claims satisfied the required deficiency and prejudice showings. The court held that the proposed witness testimony was cumulative, unreliable, minimally relevant, or otherwise unlikely to affect the verdict or sentence, and that several challenged issues had already been rejected on direct appeal. No separate opinions were filed.
