Corie Rodrigus Frazier, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Frazier’s Rule 37.1 petition, holding that his newly raised claims were procedurally barred and that his preserved ineffective-assistance claims failed under the governing performance-and-prejudice standard. The court concluded that Frazier did not show actual juror bias, identify a meritorious appellate issue, or establish that additional investigation or impeachment would probably have changed the verdict. It also held that the circuit court’s adoption of the State’s findings satisfied the applicable order requirements. No separate opinions were filed.
