Supreme Court of Arkansas
Laurie Jamett A/k/a Laurie Jammett, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
January 21, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 33
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Rule 37.1 relief without an evidentiary hearing. It held that the prosecutorial-misconduct and due-process claims were procedurally barred, and that counsel's alleged failure to present mitigating evidence did not establish ineffective assistance because the sentence was part of the negotiated plea and appellant did not show the required plea-related prejudice. The court also held that the record conclusively demonstrated that appellant was entitled to no relief.
