Ike Shawndale Nunn, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Nunn's postconviction petition, holding that he failed to establish either deficient performance or resulting prejudice under the governing ineffective-assistance standard. His claims concerning psychiatric evidence, experts, investigators, and sentencing mitigation were either conclusory, unsupported by the record, raised for the first time on appeal, or incapable of showing a different outcome. The court also concluded that the circuit court properly denied relief without an evidentiary hearing.
