Supreme Court of Arkansas

Aaron Flemons, Appellant v. State of Arkansas Appellee

December 15, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 386

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Flemons's consolidated postconviction petitions. It held that the trial court properly denied his requests for continuances, appointed counsel, and trial transcripts, and that he failed to establish ineffective assistance because his claims were conclusory, lacked demonstrated prejudice, involved reasonable trial strategy, or were unpreserved. The court also held that the alleged prosecutorial nondisclosure was not cognizable in the proceeding and that the remaining appellate-assistance and cumulative-error claims failed.
