Evans v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Evans's postconviction motion, holding that he failed to show ineffective assistance that rendered his guilty plea involuntary or that he was prejudiced by the absence of a presentence investigation in an earlier robbery case. The plea colloquy established that the plea was knowing and voluntary, and Evans received substantial benefits from the negotiated plea. The record also showed that he declined to postpone sentencing for an investigation and identified no favorable information that it would have produced.
