AC37129 - Thompson v. Commissioner of Correction (Habeas; "On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court
abused its discretion in denying him certification to appeal and improperly
concluded that his trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance. We
dismiss the appeal… The principal issue raised by the petitioner in this appeal
is that the court erred in not finding counsel ineffective for an alleged
failure to present a closing argument that the restraint or abduction of the
victim was not a kidnapping, but merely incidental to his other crimes, and to
properly file a motion for a judgment of acquittal as to the charge of
kidnapping.")
