Matthew Williams, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Williams's postconviction petition, concluding that none of his ineffective-assistance claims satisfied both deficient performance and prejudice requirements. Williams was responsible for the unobjected-to jury instruction while representing himself, the duplicate checks were admissible, and he failed to show that omitted witness testimony would have changed the verdict. His sufficiency challenge was not cognizable in postconviction proceedings, and his motion for a belated reply brief was moot.
