Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wyouman David Camp Appellant v. State of Arkansas Appellee

March 5, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 108

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Camp’s post-conviction petition, holding that he failed to prove ineffective assistance based on counsel’s advice concerning a twenty-year plea offer. The court relied on Camp’s conflicting testimony and his contemporaneous acknowledgment that he voluntarily rejected the offer while knowing the anticipated testimony. Because Camp failed to establish deficient performance, the court did not need to address prejudice.
