Garcia v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Garcia's postconviction petition alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. It held that Garcia failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice because many allegations were conclusory, the challenged decisions were matters of trial strategy, and the record showed no reasonable probability of a different result. The court also upheld the denial of relief without an evidentiary hearing because the trial court made the required written findings and the record conclusively showed that Garcia was not entitled to relief.
