Criminal Law : Post-Conviction Relief – Effectiveness Of Counsel – Conflict Of Interest
Stephanie Maniscalco//September 14, 2018
Where a defendant in a child endangerment case argued that his counsel was ineffective due to a conflict of interest, the denial of post-conviction relief is affirmed because both knew about the representation and they were asserting a common defense.
Judgment is affirmed.
