In re Cochran CA1/4
Brandon Darville Cochran filed a habeas corpus petition alleging ineffective assistance of counsel at his trial where a jury convicted him of voluntary manslaughter and found he personally used a firearm in the fatal shooting of the victim. Cochran also filed a direct appeal of the judgment raising related arguments. Because the appeal and habeas petition involve related issues, we ordered that we would consider them together. For the reasons set forth in the opinion in the related direct appeal (People v. Cochran, A160672), the habeas petition is denied.
