Raysor v. United States, No. 09-3871 (2d Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus where he was convicted of crimes stemming from his involvement in a violent street gang. At issue was whether defendant received ineffective assistance of counsel where defendant alleged that trial counsel failed to advise him as to whether he should accept or reject a particular plea offer by the government. The court held that an evidentiary hearing was necessary to flesh out the sparse record before the court. Accordingly, the court vacated the judgment and remanded for further proceedings.
