Ex parte Hatcher (Original)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of possession with the intent to deliver cocaine and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Defendant then filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus under Article 11.07, in which he contended that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance at trial. The court twice remanded defendant's application and requested that the convicting judge make specific findings and determine if trial counsel was ineffective. The convicting judge filed findings and recommended that relief be denied. The court held that because those findings were supported by the record, the court adopted them and denied relief.
