Williams v. State

Summary

The court upheld Williams's convictions, rejecting his challenges to the admission of a first-offender plea, an alleged discovery violation, and ineffective assistance of counsel. It held that any evidentiary error was harmless, the discovery claim was waived, and counsel's performance was neither deficient nor prejudicial. The court vacated the recidivist sentence because first-offender pleas cannot serve as convictions for recidivist sentencing and remanded for resentencing.
