Robert Sandrelli, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief after an evidentiary hearing on Sandrelli's claims that counsel ineffectively omitted character witnesses and prevented him from testifying. It held that counsel's decisions were supported by reasonable professional judgment and that the circuit court's credibility findings were not clearly erroneous. The court declined to address prejudice because Sandrelli failed to establish deficient performance.
