Ex Parte Brodgerick Tredon Ellis, Applicant

Summary

The Court denied the applicant’s habeas corpus petition, holding that trial counsel’s decision to introduce the police report and the overall conduct of the defense were not constitutionally deficient under the Sixth Amendment. Applying the Strickland two‑part test, the Court found no unreasonable performance and no prejudice. The Court affirmed the lower court’s denial of relief.
