Hurston v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Hurston’s convictions and sentences, holding that he acquiesced to his absence from a conference-room meeting with a witness and that none of his four ineffective-assistance claims satisfied the applicable requirements. The court concluded that counsel was not deficient for failing to pursue severance or a suppression ruling, and that any assumed deficiencies concerning accomplice corroboration and other-act evidence caused no reasonable probability of a different result.
