Antonio Sauceda Reyes a/k/a Antonio Reyes v. State of Mississippi

Summary

The court affirmed Reyes's capital-murder conviction and life-without-parole sentence. It held that his statements during both interviews were voluntary, his reference to a lawyer was not an unequivocal invocation of the right to counsel, and his unpreserved challenges to the State's examination of a witness were procedurally barred. The court also rejected Reyes's ineffective-assistance claim because he showed neither deficient performance nor prejudice.
