King v. State
King v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. He alleged ineffectiveness of appellate counsel in failing to challenge the sufficiency of evidence to support the battery on a law enforcement officer conviction in his direct appeal.
Defendant’s alternative claim that appellate counsel was ineffective in failing to argue the prosecutor improperly vouched for the credibility of the officer is insufficiently pled and no error has been established. Pittman v. State, 90 So.3d 794, 819 (Fla. 2011).
We therefore deny the petition.
. King v. State, 96 So.3d 906 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012).
. Petitioner was also found guilty of resisting an officer without violence. This conviction was not addressed in the petition and is not before us.
