How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “We have considered the argument concerning effective assistance of counsel . . . and find it without merit. From the sentencing minutes, it appears that the trial Judge was fully apprised of [petitioner’s] position by [petitioner] himself.”
• No coercion where defendant’s mother made him consider the effects that a conviction would have on his family; while the statements may have been coercive coming from a judge or prosecutor, coming from defendant’s lawyers and mother the statements were sound advice.
