Earl Delmar Pigg, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Pigg's postconviction petition after concluding that the trial court made adequate written findings and did not clearly err in rejecting his ineffective-assistance claims. Pigg failed to show either deficient performance or a reasonable probability that the alleged errors affected the outcome, given the cumulative and overwhelming evidence of guilt. The court also declined to address issues raised for the first time in Pigg's reply brief.
