Description

Appellant James Harrison, a Kentucky state prisoner convicted of Murder With Aggravating Circumstances, appeals a district court judgment dismissing his petition for habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Â§ 2254. Harrison was represented by two attorneys at his criminal trial, and argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial due to conflicts that arose between his attorneys, due to his attorneys alleged failure to call certain witnesses to testify at trial, and due to his attorneys alleged failure to fulfill promises made to the jury during opening statements. For the reasons below, we affirm the district courts dismissal of Harrisons habeas petition.
