Walsh v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Walsh's convictions and thirty-three-year sentence. It declined to review ineffective-assistance claims raised for the first time on direct appeal and found no plain error in admitting evidence from the apartment or in the claim of juror intimidation. The Court also held that the predicate convictions supported the mandatory sentences, that the ten-year lookback argument had no merit, and that applying the sentencing statute did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause because Walsh committed the charged offenses after the statute's enactment.
