01-3465-CR State v. Williams

By: dmc-admin//November 25, 2002//

Listen to this article

Keyonta T. Williams appeals from a judgment of conviction of party to the crime of armed robbery and from an order denying his postconviction motion alleging that trial counsel was ineffective. He argues that trial counsel was ineffective because after receiving information that head injuries impaired Williams’s cognitive functioning, the possibility of entry of a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (NGI) never crossed counsel’s mind. We affirm the judgment and order based on the trial court’s finding that trial counsel’s conduct was not deficient and because Williams failed to prove his defense was prejudiced by the failure to pursue an NGI defense.

This opinion will not be published.
