Fullwood v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed an order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus, challenging his 1988 guilty plea to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. At issue was whether the habeas court erred in holding that defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to counsel at the guilty plea hearing. The court concluded that it was error for the habeas court to find a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to counsel where defendant was never informed that he had a right to counsel during the plea hearing. Accordingly, the judgment was reversed.
