Jones v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Charles Jones was convicted on four counts of rape. Appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief under Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, listing four grounds of relief, including ineffective assistance of counsel and error by the trial court. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal, holding that Appellant did not state claims in his petition that, if cognizable, provided sufficient facts to support relief where (1) the claims of trial court error were not cognizable in a Rule 37.1 proceeding; and (2) Appellant did not provide any facts that would support a finding of prejudice in regard to his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.
