Barber v. State

Summary

The court dismissed Barber’s appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition because the record showed he could not prevail, and it denied his motion for appointed counsel as moot. Barber failed to establish ineffective assistance concerning parole eligibility because counsel testified that she advised him of the seventy-percent service requirement, and the trial court credited that testimony. His remaining claims concerning discovery and the strength of the evidence did not warrant relief in a guilty-plea postconviction proceeding.
