State v. Crawford
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was found to be a habitual criminal. Defendant later filed an amended motion for postconviction relief, stating that he received ineffective assistance of appellate counsel in various respects. The district court denied Defendant’s claims after an evidentiary hearing. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of postconviction relief, holding (1) the State waived the limitation period for filing the postconviction motion under Neb. Rev. Stat. 29-3001(4) when it failed to raise the defense in the district court; and (2) Defendant’s assignments of error were without merit.
