Criminal Procedure – first-degree intentional homicide – postconviction motion denied

Jimmie C. Green appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury found him guilty of one count of first-degree intentional homicide, three counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and one count of discharging a firearm from a vehicle. Green also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion requesting access to sealed juror information and a new trial on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel or in the interest of justice. We conclude that: (1) Green failed to make a preliminary showing that would entitle him to the sealed juror records or to further question the jurors at an evidentiary hearing; (2) trial counsel’s performance was not deficient; and (3) the real controversy was fully tried, and justice was not miscarried. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
