Moten v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Appellant was convicted of first- and second-degree battery. The court of appeals affirmed on appeal. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, claiming that his trial counsel was ineffective for several reasons, that the circuit court erred in denying relief on his claims of constitutional error, and that the circuit court did not make required findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court denied the petition without a hearing. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in its judgment.
