Montana Supreme Court

L. Jackson Jr. v. State

September 30, 20252025 MT 221

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Laurence Dean Jackson Jr.’s petition for post‑conviction relief, holding that the petition failed to satisfy the factual pleading requirements of § 46‑21‑104(1)(c) and did not demonstrate deficient counsel performance or prejudice under Strickland, so no evidentiary hearing was required.
