2010AP1960-CR State v. Crenshaw

Listen to this article

Criminal Procedure
Ineffective assistance; double jeopardy; postconviction discovery

Kelvin L. Crenshaw appeals from a judgment of conviction entered following a jury trial and orders denying his motions for postconviction relief. The jury found Crenshaw guilty of first-degree reckless injury by use of a dangerous weapon, as a habitual criminal; felon in possession of a firearm, as a habitual criminal; and possession of a short-barreled rifle, as a habitual criminal. Crenshaw raises the following issues on appeal: (1) that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel; (2) that his convictions were multiplicitous and violated his constitutional protections against double jeopardy; (3) that the trial court erroneously denied his motion for postconviction discovery of DNA evidence; and (4) that the trial court erred in adopting the State’s brief in toto when it denied his second postconviction motion. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
