Young v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief, concluding that the appellant entered his no-contest and guilty pleas knowingly and voluntarily. It further held that the appellant failed to establish either deficient performance or prejudice from counsel's alleged failures to investigate, communicate, and provide discovery, and that cumulative error is not independently cognizable. The court deferred to the circuit court's credibility determinations and found no clear error.
