Carrillo v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Carrillo’s convictions, rejecting both ineffective-assistance claims. It assumed without deciding that counsel may have been deficient by not objecting to certain incoming text messages, but found no prejudice because overwhelming properly admitted evidence supported guilt; it also held that counsel was not deficient for failing to renew a suppression objection because the prior definitive ruling preserved the issue. The court did not reach the merits of Carrillo’s underlying search-warrant challenges because he did not independently raise them.
