Maron Alexander Lindsey v. State

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the post‑conviction relief (PCR) court’s denial of Marion Alexander Lindsey’s petition, holding that the PCR court properly adopted the State’s proposed order after giving the parties opportunity to respond and that Lindsey’s trial counsel did not provide constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel. The Court rejected Lindsey’s arguments that the order adoption violated his rights and that deficiencies in mitigation investigation were prejudicial.
