Davis v. Georgia
Annotate this CaseDetrik Davis appealed pro se a superior court order denying his motion for an out-of-time appeal. The superior court found that Davis failed to carry his burden of showing that the lack of an appeal from the judgment of conviction entered following his guilty plea was the result of counsel’s ineffective assistance. Davis contended he was “forced to improperly proceed pro se on his first appeal from his conviction based on a guilty plea.” He also argued he was entitled to appointed counsel to assist him with his motion for an out-of-time appeal. Finding no merit to these claims of error, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed.
