1 Citing case

  1. Glidden v. Brewer

    Case Number 18-12808 (E.D. Mich. Sep. 19, 2018)

    On August 6, 2015, she was sentenced to concurrent terms of 48 to 90 months in prison on both counts. The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed the petitioner's conviction, People v. Glidden, No. 329086, 2017 WL 1010277 (Mich. Ct. App. Mar. 14, 2017), and on September 12, 2017, the Michigan Supreme Court denied the petitioner's application for leave to appeal, People v. Glidden, 501 Mich. 863, 900 N.W.2d 646 (2017). On September 10, 2018, the petitioner filed her habeas petition in which she raised four claims of error in the criminal proceedings, arguing that her trial counsel was ineffective by: (1) failing to make an opening statement, not questioning any witnesses on cross-examination, and not requesting any jury instructions; (2) failing properly to challenge the admission of the petitioner's statements at trial; (3) failing to move for a directed verdict when the evidence presented was insufficient to sustain the charges; and (4) failing to request that the jury be instructed on a lesser included offense.
