Blocker v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Blocker's convictions, holding that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient to support his criminal street gang activity conviction and that the trial court properly admitted a witness's statement as an excited utterance. The court also rejected four ineffective-assistance claims because counsel's challenged decisions were objectively reasonable under the defense strategy and caused no demonstrated prejudice, and it rejected cumulative error because no individual error or deficient performance was shown.
