Johnson v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Johnson’s postconviction petition, concluding that counsel was not ineffective for failing to challenge the timing of the revocation hearing or the State’s notice of later probation violations. The sixty-day hearing limitation did not apply because Johnson was released on bond, and the court had already revoked probation before the later sentencing hearing. The court also held that the record conclusively showed the notice-based claim was meritless despite the circuit court’s incomplete findings.
