State of Louisiana v. Winston Demond Westley

Summary

The Louisiana Supreme Court denied the defendant’s post‑conviction writ, holding that he failed to demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel under Strickland and that his filing was barred as a successive application under La.Cr.P. art. 930.4 and 930.8. The Court emphasized the procedural limits on successive filings and the strict requirements for proving counsel’s ineffectiveness.
