State v. Thee

¶1 Douglas F. Thee, Jr., appeals the denial by the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, of his petition for post-conviction relief. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Thee pleaded guilty to the charge of deliberate homicide under § 45-5-102(1)(b), MCA (1997), for aggravated assault resulting in the death of a 12-month-old child. After the District Court entered judgment and sentence, Thee petitioned pro se for post-conviction relief, alleging he would not have pleaded guilty but for ineffective assistance of counsel. The District Court denied the petition. We affirm.
