Armstrong v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Armstrong's postconviction petition without an evidentiary hearing. It held that the trial court made the required written findings and that the record conclusively showed that Armstrong was not entitled to relief on his ineffective-assistance claims, including his claims concerning witnesses, affidavits, trial strategy, and cross-examination. The court also held that claims of ordinary trial error were not cognizable in a postconviction proceeding.
