Magness v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of four counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, possession of a firearm by a felon, two counts of fleeing, and resisting arrest. The court of appeals affirmed. Thereafter, Appellant filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief under Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, arguing that the three attorneys who represented him at trial were ineffective. The trial court dismissed and denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to demonstrate that the trial court was clearly erroneous in summarily denying postconviction relief.
