Supreme Court of Arkansas
Robinson v. State
June 19, 20142014 Ark. 289
Summary
The court dismissed Robinson’s appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition and declared his motion to amend moot. It concluded from the record that he could not prevail because his ineffective-assistance allegations were conclusory and did not allege that counsel’s errors caused him to reject the plea and insist on trial. The plea-hearing record also showed that the plea was voluntary and intelligent and that Robinson understood his habitual-offender status and potential sentence.
