Goodman v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Charles Goodman was found guilty by a jury of two counts of rape and sentenced to 180 months' imprisonment. Appellant subsequently timely filed a petition for postconviction relief, challenging the effectiveness of trial counsel, the sufficiency of the evidence, the trial court's jurisdiction, and the fact that the trial court engaged in ex parte communications with the jury. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant either provided only conclusory statements without factual substantiation in support of his arguments, the issues were not properly before the Court, or the issues were not cognizable in a postconviction relief proceeding.
