Mister v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of delivery of cocaine. The court of appeals affirmed the conviction. Appellant subsequently filed an Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1 petition, raising several allegations of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, including claims that trial counsel was ineffective for (1) failing to effectively communicate and inform him of a global plea offer, (2) failing to make a proper Batson challenge, (3) failing to pursue a motion to be relieved as counsel, and (4) not being adequately prepared for trial. The circuit court denied postconviction relief. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not clearly err in denying relief.
