Supreme Court of Arkansas
Charles Robinson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
March 10, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 84
Summary
The court dismissed Robinson’s appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition and held that his ineffective-assistance claims did not warrant relief. His allegation that counsel failed to communicate a plea offer was unsupported by evidence and did not establish that he would have accepted the offer or that it would have remained available. His separate coercion allegation also failed to explain how counsel’s remarks caused him to plead guilty.
