State ex rel. Douglas Craddock v. State of Louisiana

Summary

The court denied post-conviction relief, holding that the relator failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel or satisfy his post-conviction burden on his remaining claims. It concluded that he had no demonstrated right to appointed counsel of his choice, failed to show deficient performance and actual prejudice, and failed to show reversible judicial error. The denial was final, subject only to the narrow statutory exceptions for a successive application.
