Mississippi Supreme Court

Lucky Turner a/k/a Lucky Leroy Turner a/k/a Chino v. State of Mississippi

June 22, 2023

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed Lucky Turner’s aggravated‑assault conviction and fifteen‑year sentence, holding that his counsel’s failure to object to lay opinion testimony, a victim’s statement, and the detective’s video narration did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel or plain error because Turner showed neither deficient performance nor prejudice.
