Habeas Appellate Court Opinions - September 2009
Below are the habeas Appellate Court opinions issued in September 2009:
 
AC29276 - Lewis v. Commissioner of Correction ("On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly failed (1) to conclude that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in relation to the petitioner’s waiver of a jury trial, (2) to conclude that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by allegedly taking away from the petitioner the right to decide whether to testify at trial, (3) to conclude that the trial court violated the petitioner’s sixth amendment right to counsel by failing to appoint an attorney to represent him during the criminal trial with respect to other charges in a separate proceeding and (4) to consider the testimony of the petitioner’s expert witness.")
 
AC28990 - Morant v. Commissioner of Correction ("The petitioner, Stefon Morant, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner contends that the court improperly concluded that at his criminal trial (1) there was no violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S. Ct. 1194, 10 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1963), and (2) he received effective assistance of counsel.")
 
AC29731 - Joseph v. Commissioner of Correction ("The petitioner, Brenor Joseph, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. That petition contained two counts alleging (1) that the petitioner was deprived of his right to effective assistance of counsel at his criminal trial and (2) actual innocence. On appeal, he claims only that the court improperly determined that he received effective assistance of counsel.")
 
AC29690 - Williams v. Commissioner of Correction - ("On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly determined that he received effective assistance of counsel.")
