Jones v. State

Robert H. Dudley, Justice.

Appellant was charged with first degree murder, pleaded not guilty, was given a jury trial, and was found guilty of second degree murder. He retained new counsel and filed a motion for a new trial in which he alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel pursuant to A.R.Cr.P. Rule 36.4, which has been superseded by Rule 37.1.
