AC46199 - Santaniello v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly rejected his claim that his prior habeas counsel performed deficiently by failing to allege that (1) both his trial counsel and appellate counsel provided ineffective assistance in failing to raise the claim that the admission of a jailhouse informant’s statements at trial violated his right to confrontation under the United States constitution pursuant to Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 68, 124 S. Ct. 1354, 158 L. Ed. 2d 177 (2004), and (2) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance when he waived the petitioner’s claim that the state violated his right to counsel pursuant to Massiah v. United States, 377 U.S. 201, 206, 84 S. Ct. 1199, 12 L. Ed. 2d 246 (1964), by using the same jailhouse informant to elicit incriminating statements from him. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the habeas court.”)
