Justin Jamal Lewis v. State

Syllabus

Petitioner Justin Jamal Lewis represented himself at trial and was convicted of distribution of heroin. Lewis timely filed an application for post-conviction relief (PCR), alleging pretrial counsel was ineffective in several respects. The PCR court summarily dismissed Lewis's application, and we granted his petition for a writ of certiorari to review the PCR court's order. We reverse the order in part and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
