Supreme Court of Arkansas

Allen Henson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

July 23, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 521

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Henson's Rule 37.1 petition alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. It held that his claims concerning advice about a new-trial motion, plea rejection, and failure to call a witness did not establish deficient performance and prejudice, and that challenges to witness credibility or the sufficiency of the evidence were not cognizable in postconviction proceedings. No separate opinions were filed.
