Larry Eugene Walden, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Walden’s post-conviction petition, concluding that he failed to establish either deficient performance or prejudice under the governing ineffective-assistance standard. The court rejected claims concerning a lesser-included-offense instruction, advice about federal pleas, waiver of the right to testify, evidentiary objections, witness cross-examination, conflict of interest, and appointment of post-conviction counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
