01-1095-CR State v. Robinson

Listen to this article

Gregory Robinson appeals his convictions by a jury of intimidating a victim, criminal damage to property, and disorderly conduct. He also appeals an order denying postconviction relief. In his postconviction motion, Robinson raised and again raises on appeal, three arguments. He claims he was denied due process and a fair trial and the effective assistance of counsel because the State elicited and exploited, without objection, opinion testimony as to witnesses’ truthfulness. Robinson further contends that the omission of a cautionary jury instruction regarding the permissible use of evidence of his prior convictions denied him a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel. Finally, he asserts that he was denied due process, the right to present a defense and effective counsel because the trial court precluded him from presenting evidence of the complainant’s possible economic motive to fabricate or exaggerate the charges.

We affirm the judgment and order.

This opinion will not be published.
