McGriff v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of McGriff’s first postconviction motion. His speedy-trial claim was barred because it had already been adjudicated, and his claims concerning the identification flyer were procedurally barred because he did not raise them before conviction or establish cause and prejudice. His ineffective-assistance claims failed because counsel was not denied at a critical stage, trial counsel’s performance was not objectively unreasonable, and McGriff did not demonstrate prejudice; his appellate-counsel claim also lacked merit.
