Habeas Appellate Court Opinions

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC46191 - Bonds v. Commissioner of Correction (Claim of ineffective assistance of counsel during plea negotiations; “On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly rejected his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. We affirm the judgment on the ground that the habeas court properly found that the petitioner did not prove that he was prejudiced by any ineffective assistance.”)

AC45738 - Love v. Commissioner of Correction (Claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court improperly concluded that his trial counsel’s failure to consult with and retain an eyewitness identification expert for assistance and testimony at the petitioner’s pretrial suppression hearing and at his criminal trial did not constitute deficient performance that prejudiced the petitioner. We disagree with the petitioner and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the habeas court.”)
