Dominic A. Leggette v. State
Syllabus
In this action for post conviction relief (PCR), Petitioner asserts the PCR court erred in finding trial counsel provided effective assistance of counsel. Petitioner contends trial counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the trial court's instruction on voluntary manslaughter as a lesser included offense of murder because the evidence presented at trial did not support a voluntary manslaughter charge. We affirm.
