P. v. Jackson
Defendants Jeron Jackson and John Shepherd were, after a joint trial, convicted by a jury of robbery and unlawful use of a badge and were sentenced to two years imprisonment for the robbery and a concurrent one year for unlawful use of a badge. On appeal, they contend insufficient evidence supports the verdicts. Shepherd further contends his trial attorney provided constitutionally ineffective assistance by failing to seek admission of evidence that would have corrected any impression that his version of events at trial was inconsistent with his pretrial statements to police. Court conclude substantial evidence supports the convictions and Shepherd received constitutionally effective assistance.
