Syllabus

Postconviction petition recantation witness due process constitutional claim. - Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's petition for postconviction relief without holding an evidentiary hearing because the defendant failed to raise a recognized constitutional claim or substantive ground for relief. A violation of due process is not implicated merely because a witness recants his trial testimony.
