Talley v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed Talley's convictions and sentences, holding that any error in admitting testimony about a prior conflict and threat was harmless in light of the strong evidence of guilt. The Court also rejected Talley's ineffective-assistance claims because counsel's challenged decisions either were not objectively unreasonable or did not create a reasonable probability of a different result. The Court further concluded that the assumed errors did not cumulatively prejudice Talley.
