Supreme Court of Arkansas
Dion Dashonne Robinson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
May 19, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 172
Summary
The court affirmed the summary denial of Robinson’s post-conviction petition without an evidentiary hearing. It held that Robinson did not allege facts establishing deficient performance because counsel was not required to predict a later plea offer or use information about accomplices when the State had no demonstrated interest in that information. Robinson also failed to allege that, absent counsel’s errors, he would have rejected the plea and insisted on a jury trial.
