Was attorney Smith's decision to not call the four witnesses ineffective assistance of counsel?
Bryant was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree. The prosecution case was that Fournier and Jones purchased illicit drugs from a dealer and Bryant, and began to drive off without paying. Bryant held onto their car and eventually beat Jones to death with repeated kicks. The prosecution's evidence was based on the eyewitness testimony of Fournier, described as uncooperative and intoxicated at the time, and Ewan Sharpe, a teen who did not come forward until four years after the fact, and only while undergoing police interrogation for an unrelated felony. The medical examiner made a thorough autopsy of Jones' body and testified that the cause of Jones' death was blunt head trauma. An alternate scenario was available, based on statements to police of four witnesses. Thomas Davis (1), a Marine Corps veteran and security guard, was driving in a company vehicle at the time and place of the killing and heard gunshots when Fournier and Jones's Ford Escort crashed into his car, while emerging the wrong way from a one way street with the driver slumped over the steering wheel. A white Cadillac pursued the Ford, stopped, and a light-skinned Hispanic man exited. He approached Davis' vehicle with an object in his hand. Believing the neighborhood to be dangerous, Davis displayed his own firearm, and the man departed. Davis did not see anyone beat or kick the occupant. Melissa Young-Duncan (2) and John Gartley (3) were experienced emergency medical technicians at the incident. They promptly arrived at the scene and provided the initial medical treatment to Jones. The both noticed what appeared to be a gunshot wound to Jones' left temple as well as what appeared to be a powder burn. Rene Fleury (4), Fournier's girlfriend and owner of the ford Escort, spoke with Fournier after he arrived home from the hospital and Fournier told her that "there had been an incident with three Hispanic males and a gun." Bryant's defense counsel, David Smith, decided to not call the four alternate witnesses because (1) there was no evidence to support the theory of the involvement of a gunman because there was no forensic evidence of a gunshot wound and (2) introducing the possibility that a gun had been involved might have increase Bryant's sentence.
