Montanez v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Montanez's convictions, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support his firearm-possession conviction and that independent evidence slightly corroborated his accomplice's testimony as to Montanez's identity and participation. The court also rejected Montanez's ineffective-assistance claim because counsel adequately challenged the accomplice's credibility and was not deficient for failing to examine parole eligibility. All Justices concurred, and no separate opinions were filed.
