Habeas Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC36971- Jamison v. Commissioner of Correction (Habeas; "On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court improperly concluded that he was not deprived of the effective assistance of trial counsel and appellate counsel. Specifically, he claims that the court erroneously determined that (1) 'there was no prejudice in trial counsel’s failure to properly challenge the introduction of a ‘stick’ which was used by the state to prove the element of a deadly weapon at the criminal trial,' and (2) 'appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to challenge the sufficiency of the ‘stick.’ ' We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.")
