Case Details
Pat Brown represented Mr. Roger Brown who appealed a denial of his third habeas petition. The Appellate Court reversed the judgement of the habeas Court on August 26th and remanded with instructions to grant the Petition for Habeas Corpus finding that his prior habeas lawyers were ineffective for not presenting evidence that his original trial counsel did not file a motion to dismiss on Statue of Limitations grounds. The remand mandated that the Petitioner be granted a new trial. This is a rare win for successive habeas claims. Charges: Habeas Corpus Appeal
Additional Notes
Appellate Court reversed judgment and remanded for a new trial due to ineffective assistance of prior habeas counsel for not presenting statute of limitations defense.
