Boatwright v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Boatright’s postconviction petition, holding that he failed to establish ineffective assistance under the two-prong performance-and-prejudice standard. His claims concerning investigation, suppression, witnesses, trial preparation, and an alleged prosecutorial conflict were either conclusory, unsupported by the hearing evidence, meritless, or not preserved for appellate review. The court also held that the alleged prosecutorial conflict was not cognizable in a postconviction proceeding.
