27126 - Goins v. State
|
Michael Goins appeals the denial of post-conviction relief, arguing the circuit court erred in finding trial counsel was not ineffective for allowing Goins to plead guilty when key evidence was obtained pursuant to an illegal search. The Court holds counsel was ineffective, but it affirms the denial of post-conviction relief because Goins was not prejudiced by counsel’s errors.

27127 - State v. Ellis
|
Appellant’s probation was revoked and terminated in the circuit court.

According to Appellant his term of probation expired prior to the issuance of a probation violation warrant.
