Ferrer-Vasquez v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Ferrer-Vasquez’s first postconviction motion because it was filed outside the applicable one-year limitations period. The Court alternatively concluded that the record did not support his ineffective-assistance claims concerning the sentencing advice, right to appeal, interpreter, or mitigation evidence. The Court held that counsel advised him of the potential life sentence and appeal waiver and presented mitigation evidence at sentencing.
