Lloyal Willie Bryant, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief, holding that the claims of ineffective assistance that were preserved below failed under the governing two-prong test. Counsel's decisions not to cross-examine certain witnesses more extensively and not to pursue additional investigation were supported by reasonable professional judgment, and the appellant failed to show resulting prejudice. The court also declined to review arguments that had not been ruled on by the trial court.
