Griffin v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Griffin’s convictions, holding that her Sixth Amendment autonomy claim failed because the record did not show that she made the required intransigent and unambiguous objection to counsel’s alleged concession of guilt. The court assumed without deciding that counsel’s shift from self-defense to voluntary manslaughter could constitute a concession of guilt, but concluded that Griffin’s not-guilty plea, counsel’s earlier self-defense theory, and counsel’s later testimony were insufficient. All Justices concurred, and there were no separate opinions.
