Hurston v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Kelvin Hurston’s convictions and sentences, rejecting his claim that he acquiesced to his absence from a conference-room meeting and concluding that none of his ineffective-assistance claims satisfied the governing requirements. The court held that the evidence was sufficient, that counsel was not ineffective for failing to pursue severance or a suppression ruling, and that any assumed instructional deficiencies caused no prejudice.
