Anthony Leon Campbell v. North Dakota

Mr. Campbell alleged that his trial counsel was ineffective as read in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984) when he confessed to numerous prejudicial errors, including violating attorney-client privilege. Its upon Campbell’s belief that he was convicted in large part due to trial counsel’s errors. In no findings of prejudice, the North Dakota Supreme Court relied upon the state courts significantly misapplied the North Dakota rule(s) of Evidence. The case thus presents the following question. Whether, the North Dakota Supreme Court unreasonably applied Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984) in rejecting, after an evidentiary, a claim that trial counsel was ineffective where he confessed to errors that he admits prejudiced Mr. Campbell’s trial.
