Idaho Supreme Court
Abdullah v. State
December 5, 2023539 P.3d 947
Summary
The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed summary dismissal of Abdullah's second successive post-conviction petition. It held that both his Brady and ineffective-assistance claims were time-barred because prior counsel reasonably could or should have discovered the underlying information in 2007, and alternatively held that the alleged impeachment information was immaterial and nonprejudicial. The court deemed Abdullah's discovery challenge moot because it assumed the allegations were true and still found no entitlement to relief.
