Ebron v. Comm'r of Corr.
Annotate this CasePetitioner pleaded guilty to a variety of criminal charges on the advice of counsel. After he was sentenced, Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, claiming that trial counsel had failed to advise him adequately regarding the state's offer of a plea bargain and that this failure constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. The habeas court rendered judgment granting the petition and ordered the trial court to vacate Petitioner's guilty plea and to allow Petitioner the opportunity to accept the original plea offer. The appellate court affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding that although the appellate court properly affirmed the judgment, it did not properly affirm the habeas court's order for relief. Remanded to the habeas court so it may issue an order directing the trial court to determine whether Petitioner should receive the term of imprisonment the government offered in the plea, the sentence he received, or something in between.
