Carter v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of first-degree battery. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court denied the petition. Appellant then filed a motion for modification or reconsideration of the trial court’s order. The trial court denied the motion, addressing Appellant’s claims that had not been addressed in the order denying postconviction relief. Appellant appealed the trial court’s order denying his petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not clearly err in denying postconviction relief.
