Rahsaan Aki Taylor v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Taylor's postconviction petition, holding that he failed to demonstrate prejudice from either alleged instance of ineffective assistance. The jury was already aware of the theory that Roberson had testified for a favorable deal, and other evidence independently connected Taylor to the crime. Testimony from additional witnesses about Taylor's injuries would have been cumulative and would not have refuted the officers' testimony about the chase.
