Description

Petitioner Vernice L. Dockins ("Petitioner") was convicted in Oklahoma state court of Second Degree Burglary and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, for which he was sentenced to thirty-eight years' imprisonment and one year and a $1,000 fine, respectively. Petitioner appealed his conviction to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (OCCA), asserting claims based on flaws in the jury instructions at his trial, insufficiency of evidence, improper sentencing, and ineffective assistance of counsel. The OCCA affirmed his conviction in a summary opinion, and Petitioner sought a writ of habeas corpus from the federal district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, on substantially the same bases raised in his state direct appeal.
